New York, it's great to be back.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Happy Fourth of July.

Over 250 years the United States has evolved into the most dynamic, innovative and entrepreneurial economy in the world.

A country defined by the resilience of its people, from each generation from Washington’s to today.

Here’s to the next 250.

Kyle Wilson was an outstanding Australian talent - our most formidable Russian linguist and specialist. And for me, a friend, diplomatic colleague and respected intellectual. Australia is the poorer for his passing. My condolences to his family on their loss.

Very saddened to learn. A big loss. From the same DFAT intake as Kevin Rudd. RIP.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Stunning Aussie success here in New York City, which is the single hardest nut to crack in the world of entertainment.

But @RufusDuSol have done it! They are the Next Big Thing. So proud of these guys. Great ambassadors for Australia. KRudd

2028 is shaping up to be a critical year in Taiwan's history. Sitting down with the Financial Times, I set out some of the possible triggers for crisis in the years ahead.

[Gideon Rachman @gideonrachman]

Great discussion and will be next weeks Rachman Review podcast

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Pleased to join the @FT and @gideonrachman in New York discussing America’s place in the world, before, during and after 2028.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Tomorrow, the @Socceroos face arguably their toughest test yet against the United States. Our boys have shown they belong on the world stage. Good luck to the team, here’s hoping for another special performance.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Good to catch up with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in Madrid to talk about Spain’s economic engagement with Asia. @sanchezcastejon

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Good to catch up with President Alex Stubb of Finland at his residence in Naantali.

Much has changed since President Stubb and I were both foreign ministers in the early 2010’s. President Stubb is now bringing together leaders from across politics, business and civic institutions as Finland, the Nordics and Europe respond to their new trade and security reality.

@alexstubb

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

In response to US-China competition, middle powers and the Global South are rethinking their security partnerships and trade strategies.

Pleased to join leaders at this year’s Kultaranta Talks, convened by the President of Finland, to discuss the new reality in the Indo-Pacific, and what we do about it.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

As the global economy is reshaped by technological, strategic and political change, Asia continues to be an engine for growth.

Good to spend time with the Board of ANZ at Asia Society to discuss opportunities and challenges on the road ahead.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

What a great human being. What a great Australian. My deepest condolences to Richard’s family.

Great to run into Alastair Campbell in Hong Kong and discuss things theological and technological.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

The US-China relationship has entered a new phase of leader-driven détente. We must now try to understand where it’s headed next.

This week Asia Society brought together some of the sharpest minds in policy, business and academia for our inaugural Washington China Dialogues to examine China from the Inside Out.

Qing Qing demonstrating she is a herbivore, not a carnivore. She’s fitting in well back in NYC.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

During my time as Ambassador, I delivered a series of lectures on deterrence.
I’ve shared the first one on my Substack as I believe they are just as relevant today.
