Why is the EU stepping up its engagement in the Indo-Pacific?

In what ways does the EU collaborate with sub-regions within the Indo-Pacific? How can it diversify its relationship with Australia?

And how does the EU reconcile with perceptions of it as a neo-colonial character in the Indo-Pacific?

In this episode, Richard Tibbels joins Rory Medcalf to discuss the Europe Union’s engagement, challenges, and opportunities in the Indo-Pacific, and what it means for Australia.

Richard Tibbels is the EU Special Envoy for the Indo-Pacific.

Professor Rory Medcalf AM is Head of ANU National Security College (NSC). His professional experience spans more than three decades across diplomacy, intelligence analysis, think tanks, journalism and academia.
