SPF Japan U.S. Program Cordially Invites You to Attend A Public Seminar on “U.S.-Japan Relations in a Changing Asia”
(Monday, October 1, 2018)
On October 1, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation will host Mr. Richard Fontaine, President of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS).
Mr. Fontaine is a distinguished expert on American Foreign Policy. He served as foreign policy advisor to Senator John McCain for more than five years, and worked at the State Department, the National Security Council and on the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The Indo-Pacific region is undergoing geopolitical changes that will transform the region for generations to come. Both Washington and Tokyo are struggling to respond, and to do so in a way that promotes their common interests, strengthens the Japan-U.S. alliance, and remains consonant with domestic politics in each country. How is Washington thinking about the Indo-Pacific region today, and about Japan-U.S. relations within it? How should both Washington and Tokyo collaborate to enhance their own ties, deepen the prospects for peace, and strengthen the rules-based regional order?
Having two Japanese experts; Mr. Hiroki Sugita from Kyodo News as a moderator, and Prof. Ryo Sahashi from Kanagawa University as a commentator, we will explore those critical question for the region, and Japan-U.S. relations. Details of the event are as follows:
