Senior Fellow Akiko Fukushima was among the participants from the United States, Japan, and ASEAN countries in a series of Track 2 videoconferences in September 2020 to discuss regional opportunities and challenges in the era of major power competition.

Organized by the New York–based National Committee on American Foreign Policy, the Forum on Asia-Pacific Security (FAPS) pointed to the importance of strengthening the regional security architecture and the rules-based order to better insulate middle powers from a deterioration in US-China relations.
