Asia:NZ Track II Newsletter

Posted by meileng on 12/05/2007 at 05:53 PM

APEC 2020 got an outing in the Asia:NZ Track II Newsletter edited by Andrew Butcher. I have included an edited version here which includes some interesting commentary by The Lowy Institute on the recent elections. Many of you will remember Allan Gyngell who heads The Lowy.

Editorial

We’ve delayed this month’s Track II newsletter by about a week so we could get fresh off-the-ground commentary about the Australian election results and their impact on the Asia-Pacific region from the Lowy Institute’s Dr Malcolm Cook. Also from Australia, Meileng Tam

My column on our APEC/Asialink meeting

Posted by Gonzalo on 11/20/2007 at 10:46 AM

After the polls close at 6pm (Eastern Time, I think Western Australia will still be going then) we'll gather together with our beers to see if Australia has a new PM.

Media Clips on President Yudhoyono's Keynote address

Posted by soa on 11/16/2007 at 04:33 PM

Hi again.

The keynote speech by President Yudhoyono also got plenty of media coverage - both Australian and Indonesian.

Major Australian newspaper like The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian reported on the speech, commenting on its impact of Australia-Indonesia relations.

And well known Indonesian newspapers like Kompas reported on it as well as detik.com.

But I can't tell you what they've said about it due to my lack of Bahasa Indonesian, so for those who can, please feel free to have a read and share it with us!

Thanks!
