Australia will host a one-of-kind summit on emerging, critical and cyber technologies next year, a December 23 statement from the country’s Foreign Minister Marise Payne noted. “The Australian Government is supporting the establishment of the Sydney Dialogue, which will be held for the first time virtually in the second half of 2021. While significant international conferences and dialogues exist for traditional areas of security and economics, there is currently a gap for political leaders, industry experts, academics and civil society representatives to meet and discuss the most pressing issues around cyber and critical technology. This annual, high-level dialogue will fill that gap,” Payne’s statement said.
