Come join us for a fireside chat with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (EAP) Camille P. Dawson. DAS Dawson is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service and since September 2021 has been responsible for the Public Diplomacy and Regional Security Policy portfolios for the EAP region.
During this event, we will discuss the function of U.S. minilateralism in the Indo-Pacific region through mechanisms such as the Quad. It will be a great opportunity to deepen understanding of the importance of these institutions and their role in the broader Indo-Pacific Strategy. There will be a Q&A session following DAS Dawson's remarks.
