Event Recap | ROK-NL Think tank dialogue on the Indo-Pacific

November 6, 2024

On October 16th, HCSS and KIEP (Korea Institute for International Economic Policy) hosted an insightful in-person event on Maritime Security for Resilient Global Supply Chains in the Wider Indo-Pacific. This event marked the beginning of a three-year collaborative program aimed at fostering exchanges between South Korean and Dutch knowledge institutes, focusing on the geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges and potential cooperation venues between South Korea and the Netherlands.

As the Indo-Pacific region becomes increasingly central to global trade, the security of its maritime routes is paramount. The event delved into the complex and evolving landscape of maritime security in the Indo-Pacific and examined the various threats and challenges that impact the stability and safety of these crucial waterways.

In addition to maritime security, the discussion focused on the security of global supply chains, particularly how disruptions in the Indo-Pacific region can have far-reaching consequences. Experts analysed the vulnerabilities within supply chains and how they are intertwined with maritime security challenges.

Event Recap

HCSS Executive Director Paul Sinning and KIEP Vice President Sungbae An set the scene for the event with some introductory remarks.

Young-ook Jang from KIEP moderated the first session: Maritime supply chain in the wider Indo-Pacific.

This session included three individual presentations and was followed by a Q&A with the audience. Our speakers for this session were Na Young Lee from the Korea Maritime Institute, Kyunghoon Kim from KIEP, and HCSS Strategic Analyst Benedetta Girardi.
