Author: Michael Lankowski
Volume 3, Number 2 (June 2007), pp. 113-131.
Abstract
In November 2006, the Kokoda Foundation organised a ‘trilogy’ of events to discuss the future challenges and opportunities for the Australia-United States strategic relationship under the theme of ‘optimising the Australian-US strategic partnership for 2015’. The ‘trilogy’ commenced in Canberra on 2 November with a Closed Workshop on next-generation combined operations and a public Seminar-Dinner held at Old Parliament House. Discussions continued in the inaugural Kokoda Dialogue held during 3-5 November, at Sutton Forrest in the New South Wales Southern Highlands. Participants in these events included senior military officers, diplomats and officials, in addition to other experts, from both countries. This report provides a synopsis of the proceedings of the Kokoda Dialogue and the Closed Workshop. It identifies the main assessments and conclusions derived from these forums.
