Bridging the Divide: The Vital Role of the Asia Pacific in Global Security and Economic Stability
The Asia-Indo-Pacific is set to define the 21st century. As a hub of economic dynamism, innovation, and trade, its stability and prosperity are essential to global security and equitable development. Yet, the region faces complex challenges, including territorial disputes and potential military escalation. Economic security, ensuring uninterrupted flows, is key to mitigating conflict. The Potomac Dialogue, hosted annually by the Center for Asia Pacific Strategy (CAPS) in Washington, D.C., provides a critical forum for pragmatic, solution-oriented engagement. By fostering deeper understanding and actionable insights, these dialogues equip stakeholders to navigate the region’s complexities and advance shared prosperity.
