CEDA is pleased to welcome Claire Clutterham for a discussion on the remit and priorities of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade.

Hear from Claire as she outlines how the Committee’s deliberations shape the Government’s broader foreign policy narrative, and explores current inquiries, including:

• How gender equality is increasingly being framed as a core national security issue;

• the opportunities and risks in deepening economic ties with African partners, including critical minerals, green energy supply chains and support for Australian SMEs; and

• key lessons emerging from the Committee’s inquiry into development and conflict.

This briefing is by invitation only to CEDA members. At CEDA invitation only briefings you will hear from an informed, expert guest speaker in a private, small group setting. Invitations to boardroom briefings are a valued benefit of CEDA membership. Chatham House Rule applies.
