A nation must think before it acts.
Taiwan’s Strategic Outlook and the Future of US-Taiwan Relations
June 22, 2026 | 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm | Asia Program
About the Event
The latest summit meeting between the leaders of the United States and the People's Republic of China has renewed debate about strategic competition, diplomatic bargaining, deterrence, and the future of cross-strait stability. Questions surrounding Taiwan’s international space, defense posture, economic resilience, and the broader regional architecture remain central to policymakers across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Asia Program for a conversation about Taiwan's strategic options in an increasingly contested regional environment and the economic as well as technological roadmap to secure Taiwan's resilience.
