Despite differing geographies and security pressures, Australia and the Republic of Korea face shared challenges arising from intensifying strategic competition and growing regional uncertainty. Both countries have an opportunity for a closer collaboration to promote regional stability and help shape a resilient multipolar order.

And how can institutional cooperation be strengthened to give the Australia–Korea relationship greater strategic depth and durability?
