Indo-Pacific
We believe that a comprehensive approach to the Indo-Pacific region is vital.
Theme for Indo-Pacific Committee
ACNSL promotes diplomacy, aligned economic efforts and the importance of strong Indo-Pacific alliances as essential aspects for long term stability. Utilizing all elements of national power and emphasis on building partner relationships will help to minimize the risk of strategic miscalculation in the region.
The guiding topics below will drive our approach, but may be amended based on emergent circumstances:
The role of USINDOPACOM in executing our national interests in this region
The role of Department of State in executing our national interests in this region
The role and impact trade and of other key players (USAID, Millennium Challenge, private business, etc.) impacting our national interests in this region
The role of existing or development of new alliances or partners impacting our national interests in this region
The Indo-Pacific Committee will examine the impact of our current engagements, alliances and negotiations, as well as any potential security threats or environmental disasters which require the U.S.’ attention. It is in our nation’s best interest to remain holistically focused on the region to promote security and stability wherever it may be.
