For more than a decade, the Honolulu Leadership Dialogue (HLD) has engaged decision makers in discussions surrounding the challenges facing Australia and the United States in the vast Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

The Honolulu Leadership Dialogue is a deeply stimulating event; one that helps to challenge assumptions, open new lines of thinking and establish new relationships focused on the vital role of Australian-American cooperation as a foundation for democracy, openness and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

The Honolulu Leadership Dialogue engages with the US Indo-Pacific Command and Australian Defence specialists on regional security. The Honolulu Leadership Dialogue examines the mutual perspectives to changing balances of power and trajectories of economic integration within the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, and the opportunities for Australia and the US.

The Australian American Leadership Dialogue adds immensely to the weight of friendship, confidence, consultation and cooperation between our two nations.
