Programs
Pacific Forum’s National Security and Defense Program advances practical policy dialogue on the evolving security challenges shaping the Indo-Pacific.
The program convenes senior defense officials, military leaders, and strategic thinkers to address deterrence, alliance coordination, crisis management, and defense innovation.
Through its premier conference Honolulu Defense Forum, policy briefs, and discussions at the Honolulu International Forum, the program supports confidence-building, strategic alignment, and operational understanding among regional stakeholders.
It places particular emphasis on alliance resilience, gray-zone challenges, and the integration of emerging technologies into defense planning.
