2022 EU-US DEFENSE & FUTURE FORUM - China and the Indo-Pacific is a growing focus for both sides of the Atlantic, as US and European policymakers pursue different strategies for engagement in the region.

What does the role of China and a growing focus on the Indo-Pacific mean for the transatlantic relationship? As the United States balances foreign policy priorities between a long-term pivot to China while addressing the immediate need to focus on Russia, and Europe debates its role in the Indo-Pacific, how can EU and US policymakers best align their policies for the region? How can Europe more effectively counter security challenges from China, especially on the cyber and technology front?

The Delegation of the European Union to the United States, in partnership with the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, hosted the EU-US Defense & Future Forum on June 22, 2022.

This year’s Forum combined two of the EU Delegation’s flagship events dedicated to furthering the dialogue on the transatlantic relationship: The second iteration of the EU-US Future Forum and the EU Defense Washington Forum, now in its 11th year.
