Shaping peace and security in the Asia-Pacific
 On Tuesday 15 July, the Lowy Institute hosted a speech in Washington, DC by Australia's Defence Minister, the Hon. Joel Fitzgibbon, MP. The Lowy Institute partnered with the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution to hold this event in the US capital.
The Minister gave a very wide-ranging address on the topic: 'Shaping peace and security in the Asia-Pacific: The new Australian Government's defence and foreign policy priorities'. He also participated in a question and answer session.
The Lowy Institute's Program Director, for Global Issues, Dr Michael Fullilove, chaired the event. Dr Fullilove is spending this year in Washington as the Lowy Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution.
A transcript of the proceedings is available here.
