Featuring JIIA Strategic Annual Report 2020
Visioconférence pour le Japan Institute for International Affairs le 25 février 2021
Roundtable featuring JIIA Strategic Annual Report 2020
In 2020, the US-China confrontation and strategic competition intensified amid the COVID-19 pandemic, covering every domain from military/security, advanced technology, supply chain control to the narrative over response to the pandemic. The rule-based international order faced severer challenges, and the multilateralism centered around the UN system fell into serious dysfunction. Following the introduction of the Strategic Annual Report 2020, the Roundtable will set the scene for examining “the Indo-Pacific of Today and Tomorrow: Transformation of the Strategic Landscape and International Response” through discussion of the current regional and international situation from a broad perspective.
