The Role of the Japan-US Alliance in the Indo-Pacific in 2023: Russia-Ukraine War and China

Co-organized by: Sasakawa Peace Foundation / Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA
 

On January 25th, 2023, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA will host Admiral Philip S. Davidson.  
 

Admiral Davidson was the 25th Commander of USINDOPACOM. In this capacity, he led the United States’ oldest and largest combatant command, consisting of nearly 380,000 personnel, and held the responsibilities for all U.S. military activities across the Indo-Pacific, covering half the globe, from 2018 to 2021. 
 

In 2022, the international society was shocked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the Biden administration positioned China as “the only competitor” in its new National Security Strategy published in October 2022. Meanwhile, Japan, too, released three new strategic documents at the end of last year, which set the course of Japan’s security policy, including a significant increase in defense spending and the acquisition of counterattack capabilities. How will the role of the U.S.-Japan alliance change and take on new roles in the current changing security environment, where we face two threats, China and Russia, and where it is said to be difficult for the U.S. to deal with them alone?  
 

Admiral Davidson will share his thoughts and insights on the role and challenges of the U.S.-Japan alliance in the Indo-Pacific region in 2023 including the issue of Taiwan. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Satohiro Akimoto, Chairman and President of the Sasakawa USA with Mr. James L. Schoff, Senior Director of Sasakawa USA as a discussant. We look forward to your participation.
