The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) is hosting a webinar on December 9, 2026, focusing on the protection of critical undersea infrastructure (CUI) in the Indo-Pacific region. This event aims to address the vulnerabilities of submarine cables, pipelines, and offshore energy connections, which are essential for the global digital economy and energy systems. Recent incidents in the North Sea and Baltic Sea have highlighted the risks of accidental damage and sabotage. The webinar will feature experts from Europe and the Indo-Pacific, including representatives from CSIS Indonesia and the Observer Research Foundation, discussing regional priorities and potential cooperation between the EU and South/Southeast Asia. The session will cover key risks to CUI, lessons learned for Europe, and practical opportunities for collaboration. The event is part of ongoing efforts to enhance resilience and security in the face of growing demand for undersea connectivity in the region.
