Australia's engagement with China and India is of global significance. In this event, six expert speakers from across Australia and overseas will explore the sources of knowledge and understanding necessary for Australia to interact effectively with these two economic powerhouses.

A lot depends on interpreting and communicating change within both countries. What are the foundations of their respective economic growth stories in recent times? How do we understand the social and cultural causes and implications of their rise? Can Australia benefit from a wider array of sources to inform its reading of these countries and in their role in the Indo-Pacific?

In this 12th instalment of our China in Conversation series, our speakers will each outline several things that are considered important in understanding China or India (or both). A Q&A with the audience will follow the presentations.
