Good conversation with the @AustralianArmy & @ComdtADFA on the international order and strategic competition. @CSIS @AustraliaChair @CSISGeopolitics

Talked to @smh's @michaelkoziol about Trump's pick for 🇺🇸Ambassador to🇦🇺. Quoted alongside @sophgaston: “By every indication in the public record, Brat shares the president’s policy views, and hails from the right-wing of the Republican Party. While his views on defence issues, AUKUS and critical minerals are less clear, if he is confirmed, it’s a safe bet that he will accurately reflect the White House position on those issues.” smh.com.au/world/north-am… @CSIS @AustraliaChair @CSISGeopolitics

Pretty unbelievable: runnersworld.com/news/a71138841…

Spoke to @FinancialReview's @jessigardner about Trump's pick for 🇺🇸 Ambassador to 🇦🇺: "As a former member of Congress with close ties to the GOP leadership, Brat should be well placed to help articulate the Trump administration’s priorities in 🇦🇺, while ensuring Australian views reach key decision makers in 🇺🇸.” afr.com/world/north-am… @CSIS

Writing for @CSIS, @KathrynPaik and I examine the New Zealand-Cook Islands falling out over the past year, what drew them back together, and why this matters geopolitically. csis.org/analysis/union… @CSISGeopolitics @AustraliaChair

Thanks to the @ADC_Australia for hosting a good conversation on 🇳🇿's relationship with 🇺🇸🇮🇩🇮🇳& 🇨🇳 with @ZimmZone @SecurityScholar @Teesta_P & Jade Guan.

A pivotal shift is underway: Japan is quietly redefining its role in the Pacific Islands, navigating intensifying strategic competition while reshaping its diplomatic and development playbook.

“This should galvanise Washington’s efforts to prioritise, resource, and build up its munitions – and turbocharge efforts for co-production with key allies like Australia and Japan.” — @CharlesEdel on missile usage in the Iran conflict. Read more here: theaustralian.com.au/nation/defence…

The Australia Chair was pleased to host former Australian Prime Minister @ScoMo30 for a discussion with @KathrynPaik, @KennedyCSIS, @Henrietta_Ivy, @RichardRossow, and @KristiGovella on a range of Indo-Pacific security issues.

Thrilled to welcome @annafifield to the @CSIS @AustraliaChair Team as a non-resident fellow. Anna’s deep expertise reporting across the Indo-Pacific will be vital as we analyze New Zealand’s evolving role in a changing region. 🇺🇸🇳🇿 @CSISGeopolitics csis.org/news/csis-aust…
