The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the ROC (Taiwan) and the Prospect Foundation will convene the Ketagalan Forum: 2025 Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue at the Grand Hyatt Taipei on August 5. This will be the ninth edition of the forum, and MOFA anticipates that the forum will once again serve as a platform for fostering dialogue and cooperation among relevant stakeholders, while drawing greater international attention to pressing security issues in the Indo-Pacific region.

The forum will bring together 12 prominent political leaders, scholars, and experts from 10 countries, including the United States, Japan, and like-minded countries in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. They will engage their Taiwanese counterparts in discussions on Indo-Pacific security dynamics; gray-zone tactics and countermeasures; and the impact of economic, technological, and industrial diplomacy on global politics.

Updates on relevant information will be available on the Ketagalan Forum website (ketagalanforum.tw). Proceedings will be livestreamed on the Ketagalan Forum channel, which can be reached via a link on the website. (E)
