Oceans are an important resource for every country and are essential for travel and trade, but there are several critical issues facing maritime order in Asia.

A lack of a shared vision, differing interpretations of maritime order, and cooperation over security issues all create friction for use of shared waterways across Asia, which makes fair and equitable access vital.

How can Asian states and allies can strengthen dialogue, interactions, and coordination to maximise the impact of their efforts in upholding regional and maritime order?
