The dawn of the Indo-Pacific era
MELBOURNE – 14 September, 2010 - Dr Michael Wesley, Executive Director of the Lowy Institute for International Policy has asserted that the world is now entering the “Indo-Pacific era”, in a speech for Asialink-Asia Society AustralAsia Centre on the topic of Australia’s Place in the World.
He said that new alliances were assuming strategic significance on par with the San Francisco system of Asia-Pacific alliances.
“Asia-Pacific institutions such as APEC and the ASEAN regional forum are relied on for less and less while Indo-Pacific institutions such as the East Asian summit and the Asian caucus of the G20 are invested with high expectations,” he said.
