The Trajectory of U.S.–China Competition

Drawing on experience across multiple U.S. administrations, he will reflect on the longer-term direction of U.S. policy toward China and what this may mean for the Indo-Pacific strategic and economic landscape.

Trade, Supply Chains, and the Emerging Global Economic Landscape

As geopolitical considerations increasingly shape global trade and investment flows, companies and governments are recalibrating supply chains and economic partnerships. Ambassador Kritenbrink will discuss how shifts in U.S. trade policy are playing out in Southeast Asia and the opportunities and constraints this may present for regional economies.

Navigating Major Power Competition: Perspectives for Malaysia

Against a backdrop of intensifying competition, countries such as Malaysia are seeking to preserve strategic flexibility while deepening economic and security partnerships. Ambassador Kritenbrink will offer reflections on how regional states can navigate this environment, and how Malaysia’s strategic approach may evolve.
