As geopolitical tensions rise with US President Donald Trump’s unpredictable foreign policy and current trade wars, the result of the Australian election in May will have consequences far beyond Australia’s borders. This timely webinar will explore how the outcome of the Australian election will impact relationships with India, the US and Australia’s role in the Indo-Pacific region.

Join us on Wednesday 30 April to hear from our expert panel on what the Australian election outcome will mean for Australia’s relationships in the region, the implications for trade, security and people-to-people links between Canberra and New Delhi and whether the future of the international rules-based order will suffer or survive.
