FREE REGISTRATION<https://ciw.anu.edu.au/event/great-power-competition-and-pacific-islands-responses>

The Pacific region is now a new focus of the US-China geostrategic competition. The China-Solomon Islands Security Agreement has exemplified China's growing presence in the region and exacerbated the US' concerns about China's strategic intensions and influence. This session will discuss the great power competition in policy areas including aid, trade, security, climate change and other policy areas in the region. It will also explore responses from the Pacific Island states. Specifically, the panellists will highlight vulnerabilities, opportunities, resilience of these smaller states, and understand their perceptions of the great powers.'
