The HCSS team – consisting of Rob de Wijk, Paul van Hooft, Tim Sweijs, Jack Thompson, Alex Klimburg, Louk Faesen, Laura Birkman, and Michel Rademaker – discussed various topics, including strengthening  multilateral maritime security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, NATO’s conventional deterrence, hybrid conflict, cybernorms, WTO reform, climate change and water security, and supply chains and access to rare minerals.

The conversation was wide-ranging and fruitful and presented a number of avenues for future discussions.
