Executive Roundtable With Parag Khanna

Join Asia Society Northern California for an off-the-record Executive Roundtable discussion for Board, Innovator and Groundbreaker Members on The U.S. and Asia Through Covid and Climate Change with Parag Khanna, Founder & Managing Partner of FutureMap, on Tuesday, July 26, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Pacific. Lunch will be served.   
  
The discussion will focus on the questions are the U.S. and Asia coming together or drifting apart? On the one hand, the legacy of the Trump administration’s tariffs and Covid disruptions mean that Asia has accelerated its internal integration with the passage of the RCEP trade agreement. More recently, however, the Biden presidency has elevated the Quad security framework and launched an Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) and both sides have indicated stronger commitments to combating climate change. Will Russia’s war on Ukraine and U.S.-China tensions hamper America’s Pacific engagement strategies, or are we entering a new era of robust U.S. leadership in Asia?
