Roundtable Discussion
HE Dr Siswo Pramono LL.M,
Indonesia Ambassador to Australia
Date: 29 April 2025
Location: Winthrop Hall, The University of Western Australia
Event details
Australia and Indonesia are close neighbours and strategic partners. Their collaboration plays a crucial role in promoting stability and security in the Indo-Pacific, as highlighted by the 2024 Defence Cooperation Agreement.
Supported by the Indonesia-Australia Economic Cooperation Agreement (IA-CEPA), Jakarta is also one of Australia’s major trade partners —and its importance will only grow as Indonesia is set to become the world’s fifth-largest economy by 2045.
As both countries seek to deepen their partnership, however, they face a complex set of security and economic challenges, ranging from a potential trade war to the impacts of climate change.
His Excellency Dr Siswo Pramono LL.M, Indonesian Ambassador to Australia will join us in Perth on 29 April, to discuss these issues and explore opportunities to deepen the Australia-Indonesia relationship. Professor Gordon Flake, Chief Executive Officer of the Perth USAsia Centre will moderate the discussion.
