Kevin Rudd - Facing North: The Territory's Global Opportunities and Current Challenges

Moderated by AIIA National Executive Director Dr Bryce Wakefield

Australia’s 26th Prime Minister, Hon Kevin Rudd AC addressed the AIIA NT’s inaugural event to discuss the global opportunities that exist for the Northern Territory, especially as Australia increasingly looks to Asia strategically, politically and economically. Mr Rudd drew on his experience as Australia’s Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Inaugural President of the Asia Society Policy Institute in New York, as well as his in-depth insights into the complex and diverse challenges and opportunities that exist within Asia. Mr Rudd addressed the Territory’s unique potential to be Australia’s gateway to Asia, and the challenges faced as a result of the US-China trade war. Mr Rudd’s address was followed by an audience Q&A both from an online audience and from the live audience in Darwin.
