Presentation of the Paper Maritime Geopolitics of the Pacific and Indian Oceans: A View from Moscow
On September 16, the Valdai Club hosted the presentation of the Valdai Paper titled “Maritime Geopolitics of the Pacific and Indian Oceans: A View from Moscow”. Indonesia is the largest ASEAN state. It controls the largest number of sea passages linking the Pacific Ocean with the Indian Ocean. In the event of an escalation of confrontation in the Asia-Pacific region, its outcome will largely depend on Indonesia’s position. The Valdai Club has been developing partnerships with the countries of Southeast Asia for many years. The Club's conferences on general regional topics have repeatedly been held in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia. The Valdai Paper on the national interests of Indonesia and Russia in the Asia-Pacific region was prepared by Alexey Kupriyanov, head of the Indian Ocean Region Centre at IMEMO RAS. Speakers: Lyudmila Vorobyova, Director of the Third Asian Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Pyotr Skorospelov, Director of the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History Alexey Kupriyanov, Head of the Indian Ocean Region Centre at IMEMO RAS Moderator: Oleg Barabanov, Programme Director of the Valdai International Discussion Club
