Roundtable with Jon Ahlstrom and Erika Olson

Tuesday 23 July 2024
 
On Tuesday 23 July 2024, the Perth USAsia Centre held a roundtable discussion with Jon Ahlstrom, Director for AUKUS on the United States National Security Council, and Erika Olson, Chargé d’Affaires to Australia at the United States Embassy.  
 
In recent years, the US-Australia relationship has gone from strength to strength. Partners in both the Quad grouping and the AUKUS defence pact, Australia and the United States share strong mutual commitment to addressing regional security challenges and promoting a free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific region. 
 
As the geopolitical landscape of our region continues to evolve, this enduring relationship will remain a cornerstone of Australia’s Indo-Pacific outlook and will be increasingly integral to our security. 
 
Mr Ahlstrom and Ms Olson joined us for a lively discussion on the state of the US-Australian security relationship and its regional outlook; the important role of Western Australia in delivering AUKUS pillars One and Two, labour force challenges and opportunities; disinformation and information resilience; and cyber and critical infrastructure security.
