The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and What It Means for the United States
Overview
From the day President Biden took office, his administration has made clear that the White House is committed to working closely with like-minded countries to ensure stability and security in the Indo-Pacific. Yet balancing the need for cooperation and heightened competition on the economic front is not always straightforward. From dealing with a world recovering from disruptions caused by the pandemic to redefining economic resilience under the shadow of an ever-growing rivalry with China, the needs of the United States in engaging in Asia have clearly evolved.
Join us for a conversation with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Asia Pamela Phan about the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and it can help enhance U.S. economic engagement in the world’s most populous region.
A panel discussion with key industry representatives from the semiconductor, automobile, rare earths, and infrastructure sectors will follow to assess how the U.S. economic strategy will promote American business interests in the Indo-Pacific.
