Against the backdrop of rising global tensions between China and the United States – further aggravated by the Russian attack on Ukraine – we want to discuss the development of the current security situation in the Indo-Pacific region, in particular the dangers of a military escalation with regard to Taiwan.

Together with our distinguished guests, we will discuss questions including: What are Japan’s expectations toward German and European positioning addressing the political challenges, and how do Europeans see Japan’s role? Should the Europeans consider increasing their military presence in the region? And what kind of world order will emerge with China and United States competing for global supremacy?

We will be focusing in particular on Japan and Germany – export-oriented nations that rely on a rules-based international environment and unhindered global shipping routes. We will also address the question of what impact all this may have on global supply chains and what both countries can do to contribute to political stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
