  • 10Th Africa Day International Conference
    The 10th Africa Day International Conference takes place under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Slovenia, His Excellency Mr Borut Pahor, and within the framework of the Bled Strategic Forum. Slovenia’s annual high-level Africa event seeks to improve policy outcomes for citizens in Europe and Africa based on mutual understanding and strengthened cooperation between the two regions. The event is co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, the London-based Chatham House Africa Programme and the European Commission. Expert discussions at the conference will examine collaborative links between Africa and Europe in accelerating progress on a comprehensive approach to water that contributes to the peace-development- humanitarian nexus. This resource is critical for socio-economic development, stability and the protection of ecosystems everywhere, but competition for water is increasing as populations grow and the consequences of climate change take effect. Sustainable Development Goal 6 aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Three years into the Decade for Action on Water for Sustainable Development, expert discussions at this conference will examine avenues through which African-European collaboration can foster greater progress towards and effectiveness of SDG 6. 09.00 – 10.00 Welcome and Keynote Addresses HE Mr Borut Pahor, President of the Republic of Slovenia HE Mr Cyril Ramaphosa*, President of the Republic of South Africa HE Dr Anže Logar, Minister

  • Urgent Action
    UA: 24/16 Index: ASA 01/3348/2016 China/Thailand Date: 28 January 2016 URGENT ACTION CHINESE JOURNALIST MISSING IN THAILAND A Chinese journalist has not been seen or heard from since 11 January, when he was travelling by train from Thailand to Laos. He was planning to apply for refugee status in Thailand, but there are fears he may have been forcibly returned to China where he would be at risk of detention, torture and other ill-treatment. Journalist Li Xin, a former opinion editor of the website of the Southern Metropolis Daily, a popular Chinese newspaper, sent an SMS message to his partner on 11 January saying that he was travelling to the border between Thailand and Laos. He has not been heard from since. According to her, he was planning to apply for refugee status in Thailand and seek settlement in another country, which required him to leave Thailand and re-enter with a new visa. Li Xin fled from China in October 2015, firstly to India, where he was refused asylum, and then to Thailand. While in India, he revealed in media interviews that in June 2013, Chinese state security officials had put him under intense pressure to act as an informant against his colleagues and friends, and threatened to imprison him if he did not do so. After initially cooperating, Li Xin refused to continue, which he believed put him and his family at risk, so he decided to leave China. His partner, who remains in China, is taking care of their two-year-old son and is pregnant.

  • Japan-Southeast Asia Relations: Great Disruption: Uncertainty Over the Indo-Pacific,” Comparative Connections, Vol
    JAPAN-SOUTHEAST ASIA RELATIONS GREAT DISRUPTION: UNCERTAINTY OVER THE INDO-PACIFIC KEI KOGA, NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Japan and Southeast Asia faced completely different situations in 2019 and 2020 because of the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, Japan-Southeast Asia relations were continuously positive. One of the major developments among Southeast Asian states was the creation of the “ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific,” (AOIP) which resonated with the principles in Japan’s “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” (FOIP) concept. As a result, Japan expressed explicit support for AOIP. Functionally, they made progress, particularly in the fields of defense, infrastructure development, and digital, as illustrated by various Japanese initiatives—“Vientiane Vision2.0,” “Initiative on Overseas Loan and Investment for ASEAN,” and “Data Free Flow with Trust.” As such, both Japan and Southeast Asian states began to synthesize their respective visions of the Indo-Pacific and to establish concrete cooperative mechanisms. Diplomatic momentum was put on halt in 2020 as COVID- 19 spread. While Japan, Southeast Asian states, and ASEAN made efforts to coordinate counter-measures, share information and best practices, and provide mutual assistance through teleconferences such as the Special ASEAN Plus Three Summit on Coronavirus Disease 2019 in April 2020, each state faces different social and political situations, making it difficult to cooperate. As such, great uncertainty looms over Japan-Southeast Asia cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. This article is extracted from Comparative Connections: A Triannual E-Journal of Bilateral Relations in the Indo-Pacific, Vol. 22, No. 1, May 2020.
