Nuclear Risks in the Indo-Pacific

Asialink Chair and former Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Varghese AO spoke with the Hon. Gareth Evans, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, about the current standing of Australian nuclear diplomacy and the nuclear environment in the Indo-Pacific.
Our speakers provided an overview of the history of nuclear armed states, current global nuclear risks, and implications for Australia as a country of the region and what, if anything it might be able to do to help manage these risks. The preliminary information discussed in this initial webinar served as an anchor for the subsequent discussions in the series.
The next webinars in this series are: 'Emerging Nuclear Risks: Confrontation and Deterrence in Asia-Pacific' and ‘Reducing Nuclear Risks: Envisioning a Regional Strategy’.
