The Year Ahead for U.S.-Indo-Pacific Relations
2026 promises to be a dynamic year for U.S. and Indo-Pacific relations and we are delighted Assistant Secretary DeSombre will join us to preview U.S. priorities for the year ahead. The topics to be discussed include: • Assistant Secretary DeSombre’s current assessment of the Indo-Pacific and a preview of the Trump Administration’s priorities for the year ahead. • How AAIP members can provide support to the efforts to pursue commercial diplomacy and achieve reciprocal trade relations. • The opportunities and challenges ahead. The dialogue will be followed by a Q+A session.
