Public Lecture on Australia’s 2026 National Defence Strategy and Cambodia-Australia Cooperation

On the morning of 23 March 2026, the Asian Vision Institute (AVI) welcomed the visit of H.E. Steven Pang Chee Wee, Ambassador-Designate of the Republic of Singapore to the Kingdom of Cambodia, at the AVI office. The courtesy meeting served as a valuable opportunity on the basis of continued cooperation to exchange views on Cambodia–Singapore relations and ways to further strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries, beyond state-to-state relations to people-to-people ties.

During the meeting, both sides discussed Cambodia’s development and progress on trade and investment, agriculture, food security, and connectivity, as well as current and emerging issues affecting the country and the region. The two sides also exchanged perspectives on Cambodia’s relations with other countries, particularly within ASEAN and the Mekong sub-region, while underscoring the importance of continued dialogue, mutual understanding, and practical cooperation in addressing shared challenges and advancing common interests.

Both sides also expressed their deep interest in further engaging and exploring potential cooperation opportunities among and with different key stakeholders via Track 1.5 and Track 2 to promoting practical cooperation, knowledge exchange, and shared efforts to address regional and global challenges.

On 11 March 2026, the Asian Vision Institute welcomed Professor Yang Jiemian, Chairman of the Academic Advisory Council of the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS), for a policy dialogue on China’s academic perspectives on Cambodia–China and Cambodia–US relations. The meeting brought together researchers and policy experts to exchange views on the evolving triangular relationship among China, Cambodia, and the United States, as well as the broader regional and global context shaping Cambodia’s strategic choices.

AVI remains committed to promoting think tank dialogue and intellectual exchange among Cambodian and Chinese scholars, as well as with researchers and policy communities across the Mekong-Lancang region, ASEAN, and the wider Asia Pacific. Through these exchanges, AVI aims to support deeper mutual understanding, encourage the sharing of ideas, and contribute to constructive regional dialogue on issues of common interest.
