The Indo-Pacific region's strategic importance to global security and prosperity is rapidly increasing. With over 65% of the world's population and more than 60% of the global economy, the region's maritime trade volume alone represents over half of the world's total. While the region has immense potential, it also faces several challenges that require collaborative solutions, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental issues.

Sustainable development of the Indo-Pacific can only be achieved through close international cooperation. Therefore, we must identify the challenges and opportunities ahead and discuss how to promote future-oriented partnerships for innovation and sharing of resources and knowledge.
