Indian Ocean Security Forum
Indian Ocean security is critical for a free and open Indo-Pacific. It is also integral to the expanding economic convergence across the Indo-Mediterranean region. India Ocean security is existential to Indian. It is in the United States, Australia, Japan and Europe national interests to barter and support Indian naval capabilities across the region. The on-going conflicts along the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el Mandeb further accentuate the urgency for collective action ensuring India Ocean security.

Free North Forum
Arctic Ocean’s expanding free water is making it more connected with neighboring seas such as the Baltic Sea and the Sea of Japan. This presents both economic opportunities and security challenges for the Arctic and partner states. The new Arctic–Baltic–Japan Seas geography calls for a strong, interests-driven informal grouping analogous after the Free and Open Indo-Pacific and the Quad. A Free North framework is poised to play a catalytic role in advancing coordination across shared and converging national interests from the Gulf of Finland to the Gulf of Alaska, while also accounting for Japanese and Korean interests and capabilities in the region.
