The Quad members (the United States, Japan, Australia, and India) have committed to uphold peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific, and Taiwan is at the heart of this goal for the US and Japan. But Taiwan’s global partnerships extend beyond defense to technology cooperation, trade, investment, and more.

What are the Quad members’ respective interests in Taiwan? How can cooperation through the Quad expand these relationships? And how can the Quad support Taiwan as it seeks to increase its collaboration throughout the region on trade, infrastructure building, and other areas?

Join Hudson Senior Fellows Riley Walters and James J. Przystup for a conversation with Yuko Mukai of the Project 2049 Institute Dhruva Jaishankar of Observer Research Foundation, and Adam Leslie of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute on these questions and more.
