In September, Security & Defence PLuS collaborated with New America and Arizona State University’s Future Security Initiative for the 10th anniversary of the Future Security Forum.
Held at New America’s offices in Washington DC, the event brought together policymakers, government and military leaders, experts and analysts for conversations on global security, including U.S. foreign policy, relations with China, future security challenges, the war in Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific region.
On the first day of the Future Security Forum, discussions centred on how global security has evolved over the past decade and how it will continue to change in the coming decade. The second day of the event, led by Security & Defence PLuS, focused on security and stability in the Indo-Pacific.
Notable speakers over the two days included former National Security Advisor of the United States Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Christopher W. Grady, Australia’s Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd and Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies at King’s College London.
