Another thought-provoking discussion at Michael Johnson’s East Coast Forum Luncheon, hosted by EPE. We welcomed Ross Thompson, CEO of PeopleIN, to lead a discussion on the Papua New Guinea – Australia Mutual Defence Treaty and its significance for a new era in PNG – Australia bilateral relations.
The conversation explored the key drivers behind this elevated diplomatic arrangement, as well as China’s extensive infrastructure investment in PNG and its broader strategic posture across the Pacific.
A timely and engaging dialogue on regional security and partnership.
Great fun too!
