The Nebraska Ambassadors Forum is a yearly program to bring distinguished diplomatic practitioners to speak with students and community leaders in Omaha and Lincoln.  Each year’s program is developed jointly by the Academy in cooperation with the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Lincoln and Burlington Capital.

Southeast Asia needs more policy focus from the United States.  Trade with the area now exceeds half a trillion dollars annually.  31% of US agricultural exports go to this area.  Very soon India’s economy alone will exceed Germany or Japan.  Reorienting critical technical manufacturing sectors to reduce dependence on China is increasingly part of the picture as well.  China has made strategic inroads in the area competing for influence and profits. The US is playing catch-up in the Philippines and Pacific islands critical to the defense of Taiwan. 

What is US policy toward the area and what should it be doing?  How is diplomacy executing and supporting policy?  Join us October 28-29th to find out.

Register for our FREE lunch event on October 28th on the UNO campus or the Lincoln afternoon discussion on October 29th on the UNL campus.
