Agency and Influence: South Korea and Australia Navigating Geopolitical Shifts and Regional Partnerships

Fri, 15 Aug 2025
12:00 - 18:00

Join us for a timely and insightful event exploring the geoeconomic forces shaping trade and security in the Indo-Pacific, specifically focusing on Australia–Republic of Korea (ROK) relations. A panel of distinguished experts will examine current trends in tariffs, energy supply chains, and the implications of shifting geopolitical alliances, including the rise of minilateral platforms and the reassessment of international partnerships.

The discussion will be organised around two key themes:

  • Geopolitical Dynamics and Supply Chains

  • Australia–Korea Complementarities and Opportunities for Defence Collaboration

Designed as a series of concise presentations followed by Q&A roundtable discussions, this event allows attendees to engage directly with leading researchers and policy experts on issues critical to Western Australia and South Korea.
