It presents three key perspectives: the intersection of quantum technologies with global supply chains and international security, a case study on Malaysia, and suggestions for fostering international cooperation in this field. The bulletin features contributions from experts in the field, including researchers from the United Nations and prominent universities. The first commentary discusses the global policy context of quantum technology, while the second provides an analysis of Malaysia's national experiences. The final commentary outlines a proposed direction for collective success in addressing global challenges related to quantum technologies. Additionally, the bulletin highlights workshops and webinars organized by the Future Issues and Technology Research Cluster, aimed at discussing responsible quantum technology development and its geopolitical implications, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. These events have facilitated dialogue among stakeholders and emphasized the importance of collaboration in the evolving landscape of quantum technologies.
