One hundred days in and looking ahead

What have we learned about Biden’s priorities in his first 100 days in the White House? Is Washington’s approach to China shifting? Where is the US Indo-pacific strategy heading? And what is Asia’s view of this new administration?

One hundred days after Joe Biden’s inauguration as the United States’ 46th President, join us for a discussion on what has already been achieved and what still need to be done. Our panel of experts will review Biden’s first few months as President from an Asia-Pacific perspective and highlight the various impacts of this planned policies on the region.

Date: Thursday 22 April 2021
Time: 5 - 5:45 p.m. AEST
