Jonker New Horizons Symposium - 2018 Foreword New Horizons Symposium, as an annual landmark event, aspires to be a unique platform for political, academic and business leaders across the globe to discuss and provide solutions for the most pressing issues of our time. It aims to serve as an important stage for diplomacy and a platform for international engagement for both public and private sectors. We held the initial issue of New Horizons Symposium series which focused on the emerging trends reshaping the international security. Panel discussions conducted by some of the best minds on their respective subjects, provided their strategic forethought and insight on the collapse of the liberal world order and the expansion of future conflict domains. The venue was also an opportunity for academia and field experts to meet and extend their respective networks. As New Horizons Community, we shared knowledge, discovered latest trends, capabilities, and potential collective responses to future risks and threats across the globe. Together with our strategic partners and sponsors, we hosted leading figures, institutions and delegations in the symposium.
