About the Event
Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Asia Program for a timely virtual discussion evaluating the AUKUS security partnership. This event will explore the foundational goals of AUKUS, assess its progress since launch, and examine both its successes—such as advancing undersea capabilities and defense innovation—and its ongoing challenges, including industrial capacity constraints and alliance coordination. Featuring leading experts, the conversation will provide a balanced analysis of what AUKUS has achieved so far and what lies ahead for this landmark trilateral partnership.
