High-Level Global Policy Event in Akron: The Indo-Pacific Dialogue
Are you interested in the future of international trade and national security? Global Ties Akron is hosting a vital global policy group in Akron from March 28 to April 1, 2026.
Countering CCP Influence
In partnership with Meridian International, this project addresses strategic competition in the Indo-Pacific. Participants are currently exploring ways to counter harmful activities led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Strengthening Akron’s Global Role
While this dialogue focuses on the Indo-Pacific, the impact is local.
Because Ohio is a manufacturing powerhouse, global stability directly affects our economy. Consequently, this global policy event in Akron is a unique opportunity for local stakeholders to engage with international priorities.
