Often overlooked as a player in the emerging Indo-Pacific order, Russia has firmly set its sights on adopting a stronger future role in Asia. What does this mean for the region, for major and smaller powers, and for Australia? Join our expert panel to explore the prospects and implications of Russia’s regional pivot, in terms of regional geopolitics, the rules based order, and Russia’s commercial posture in the region.
