What’s Next for the U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy?

This event is now AT CAPACITY. Please reach out to Katie Kelley at [email protected] with any questions. 

America’s diplomatic options in the Indo-Pacific region are as strained as ever. Tensions around Taiwan, electronic and aerial surveillance, and concerns over an expanding Chinese sphere of influence have all coalesced to leave many wondering if a new Cold War is imminent between China and the United States. How can the U.S. navigate these difficult waters? What should America’s strategy in the Indo-Pacific look like?

Join Global Minnesota and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs for a discussion with Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Kin Moy. Mr. Moy is an alumnus of the University of Minnesota and a career Foreign Service Officer. He will cover a wide range of topics including U.S. foreign policy in East Asia, the U.S.-China relationship, and Taiwan. Mr. Moy will offer an overview of his work and the major issues facing his department, followed by a moderated Q&A session.
