Raisina Dialogue 2024 | Strategic Autonomy for Asia in a Decoupling World | The countries of East and Southeast Asia have long looked to partnerships and alliances with the United States as integral to their security. But domestic politics and a European war may have distracted Washington. This panel will consider what this means for the security postures of countries in the region.

Korea has emerged as a major defence producer in recent years. How does this reflect and influence Seoul’s attitude towards its partners in Asia?

The countries of Southeast Asia have sought to balance US power and China’s economic heft. What is the future of this balancing act, and how are the capitals of ASEAN planning for it?

Japan has committed to supporting the defence industries and security establishments of some key regional allies like Bangladesh and the Philippines. What is the thinking behind this recalibration in Tokyo?
