27 June 2025

The June edition of THE NAVIGATOR is now available, delivering in-depth analysis, up-to-date information, and a comprehensive look at the Indo-Pacific region. 

This month, we track mounting economic headwinds across the Indo-Pacific, as global growth forecasts plunge to post-2008 lows. Trade-dependent economies are scrambling to attract investment and stabilise recovery amid rising uncertainty.

Our briefs examine shifting US engagement: new Pacific travel restrictions threaten Washington’s influence, while South Korea’s pragmatic diplomacy may clash with a potential Trump foreign policy reset. Across the region, leaders face a volatile mix of economic strain, diplomatic frictions, and intensifying rivalries — from South Asia’s post-crisis diplomacy to renewed tensions in Southeast Asia and growing unease in East Asia.
