I was invited to join this International Parliamentary Assembly Virtual Event for the Asia Pacific Security Innovation Forum, a non-partisan New Zealand think tank, formed in 2019. It aims to strengthen strategic partnerships and alliances in international relations.
The theme of this event was Traditional and Non-traditional Security Challenges: Lessons Learned.
I was impressed with another invited guest, Leighton Baker, a former political party leader with a trades background. His clear-thinking, clear-speaking, practical and sensible approach to the subject matter of national security was refreshing to hear.
