An Asia-Pacific Overview: Breakfast with Admiral Timothy J. Keating

 Friday, January 30, 2009


 

You will not want to miss a unique opportunity to join us at a breakfast with Admiral Timothy J. Keating, head of U.S. military forces in the Asia-Pacific (the Pacific and Indian Oceans). Congressman Rick Larsen (D-WA) will make opening remarks.

Admiral Keating has a broad knowledge of Asia that encompasses issues of importance to business, government, and non-governmental organizations. Security, stability, and prosperity in Asia are among the commitments of the U.S. Pacific Command strategy under Admiral Keating.

In his remarks, Admiral Keating will address topics such as U.S. engagement with China (specifically the U.S.-China military-to-military relationship and China's stated intent to build an aircraft carrier), China-Taiwan relations, and the India-Pakistan situation following the Mumbai attacks. Following his remarks, Admiral Keating will take questions from the audience.

We hope that you will join us at this January 30 breakfast event. Space is limited, so please respond as early as possible.

To register, please call Laura Wissing at NBR (206) 632-7370 by January 28, 2009.
