Booth focused her remarks on the future of partner HADR coordination with China, which is currently ‘cooperative, complex and at times, competitive’.

The conference event was held at The Department of Pacific Affairs (DPA) (formerly known as the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia program —SSGM). It is the leading international centre for applied multidisciplinary research and analysis concerning contemporary state, society and governance in the Pacific. Situated within the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs (ANU), DPA seeks to set the international standard for scholarship on the region.
