Belfer Building - Bell Hall, 5th Floor

Please join the Future of Diplomacy Project and the Asia-Pacific Initiative for a discussion with Chan Heng Chee, Ambassador-at-Large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore and former Ambassador of Singapore to the United States, on current political and economic developments in Asia and a unique southeast Asian view on Russia's war in Ukraine. Increasing U.S.-China competition presents significant and myriad challenges to the region. What role is diplomacy playing in helping these countries navigate changing dynamics in Asia and beyond? Ambassador Chan will also address the rise of ASEAN and efforts towards strengthening trade and regional economic integration. This conversation will be moderated by Ambassador Paula Dobriansky, Senior Fellow with the Future of Diplomacy Project.
