On Feb 23, International Conference “The Security of Indian Ocean”
(February 23, 2018, Friday)

Tweet

Closed.

The Sasakawa Peace Foundation is going to host the international conference on “Security of Indian Ocean” in cooperation with Vivekananda International Foundation (India), Australia National University, and Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA.

The sea lanes in the Indian Ocean are a common interest and collective property of critical importance in today’s world. However, only a few countries in the region are politically stable and there is no firmly established regional framework in the region equivalent to the ASEAN. Under these circumstances, many countries are approaching to the sea lanes and the surrounding countries, seeking to have greater influence or to gain economic benefits. Those approaches are likely to affect the security environment in the region.

To deal with such situation, SPF has cooperated with partner institutions of US, Australia and India and investigated the possibility and the way to stabilize the region through cooperation among major democracies. This conference is a valuable opportunity to learn about the challenges to the region and the agendas for Japan. We hope you will join us at what promises to be a highly informative event.
