Reflections - Asian Century White Paper | Panel Discussion

In October 2012, the Australian government released the "Australia in the Asian Century" White Paper. The document is aimed to help the country seize the economic opportunities and manage the strategic challenges that would emerge from a resurgent Asia. It laid out a road map to ensure growth in the region that would benefit Australia and called on all Australians to play their part in becoming a more Asia-literate and Asia-capable nation. Ten years on, what has been the outcome of this report and what lessons should be learned as we look towards the future? Given the prompt recovery from the COVID pandemic and the fastest growing economy in the world, the Asian Century is expected to arrive earlier than predicted with an expected $31 trillion in GDP.  This panel discussion will explore the changing dynamics of the region, how Australia could adapt to the changing economic landscape, and how the evolving relationship between Australia and Asia could be strengthened for the benefit of all.
