RAdm Robinson provided the audience of 46 RUSI-VI members – collectively representing hundreds of years of defence and security experience in its ranks – with a comprehensive overview of the Royal Canadian Navy’s operations in the Indo-Pacific region.

His presentation was very well-received by the audience, given the current and future importance of the region to Canadian interests. The presentation is part of the Royal Canadian Navy’s ongoing outreach efforts to inform the Canadian public of the Navy’s activities and the importance of maritime security to our national well-being.
