Russia and China pose a rising two-front threat to America’s allies. This means that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Indo-Pacific 4 (or IP4, which includes Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand) urgently need to move their partnership from dialogue to cooperation.
Collaboration on the challenges of maritime security and automation is an ideal point of departure to get the NATO-IP4 partnership off the ground, especially when rapid technological change and global interconnectedness have changed the maritime threat environment.
At Hudson, three panels featuring government officials, think tank and university experts, and defense industry representatives will discuss the future of NATO-IP4 maritime and technological cooperation.
