"COP31 will be about implementation & acceleration. #COP31 leadership is not an abstract diplomatic exercise for Australia. It is an investment in security & prosperity of our region and the wider Indo-Pacific." - Minister Chris Bowen at @ChintanResearch's pre-COP Dialogue.
Chaired an excellent discussion under the auspices of @CUTS_Inter and the @ChintanResearch Foundation on world trade, addressed by former WTO Director General Pascale Lamy and former Planning Commission Chief Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Well done @Psm_cuts and @priyadarshi_crf !
Our recent #ClosedDoorRoundtable on "Advancing the Quad for Economic and Security Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific” brought together major stakeholders from the strategic and academic community.
Key discussions focused on:
- Strategic direction and institutional coherence of the #Quad
- The U.S. Factor and External Strategic Pressures
- Security Dynamics and #MaritimeCooperation in the Indo-Pacific
- Economic Security, Supply Chains, and Critical Technologies
The discussion also probed into critical and forward-looking questions:
- What are the top three actionable priorities the Quad should focus on over the next 3-5 years?
- How can the QUAD better integrate policy, industry, and strategic communities to deliver tangible outcomes?
- What metrics or benchmarks should be used to assess the Quad’s effectiveness and credibility?

Closing the inaugural session, Mr @priyadarshi_crf, President, CRF, stated that
🌏 India must be at the table where #Trade and #Climate meet.
🌏 The #IndiaEU#FTA could unlock #GreenTech for the country.
🌏 He focused on:
- Climate urgency - yesterday’s extremes are today’s reality.
- Global inequity - impacts hit the vulnerable hardest.
- Trade × climate - #ClimatePolicy works only when tied to trade and economic policy.
- India & #GlobalSouth - #ClimateAction isn’t a choice between green and growth; India seeks fairness and equity.
