The strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific is greater than ever, as it has become a new center of global cooperation in addressing multiple security threats and promoting economic prosperity. In line with the global focus on the Indo-Pacific region, the Republic of Korea has designated 2023 as the first year of implementing its Indo-Pacific strategy to accelerate solidarity for global cooperation in addressing multiple crises under the universal values of freedom, peace, and prosperity.

To achieve effective Indo-Pacific cooperation, there needs to be a continuous dialogue among nations that have announced their Indo-Pacific strategies to identify priorities and explore opportunities for collaboration. This session will bring together experts from various backgrounds to share their visions for Indo-Pacific cooperation for freedom, peace, and prosperity from the perspective of the United States of America, Europe, ASEAN, and the Republic of Korea.
