Strategic Importance of Southeast Asia to Australia’s Fuel Security

White Paper: Southeast Asian Eyes (SEAE)
The Southeast Asian Eyes (SEAE) is a concept for an Australian initiated, strategic intelligence-sharing initiative aimed at enhancing security, political stability, and economic integration across Southeast Asia. This paper outlines the benefits, challenges, and strategic imperatives of SEAE, emphasising its potential as an alternative to existing pacts like AUKUS, which are limited by conditional guarantees and may not fully align with Australia’s or Southeast Asian nations' strategic interests.
