The Sasakawa Peace Foundation, in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy in Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan, will host a public dialogue featuring senior U.S. and Japanese government officials on the growing importance of deep-sea mineral resources and opportunities for bilateral cooperation.

As the United States and Japan seek to strengthen economic security and diversify critical mineral supply chains, deep-sea resources are attracting increasing attention as a source of minerals essential to advanced technologies, industrial competitiveness, and economic prosperity. 

Through keynote remarks and a fireside chat, speakers will discuss the strategic importance of deep-sea minerals, the opportunities and challenges associated with their development, and how the United States and Japan can work together to advance exploration, technological innovation, and future commercialization.

 The event will highlight the potential for deeper U.S.-Japan cooperation to strengthen critical mineral supply chains, support technological leadership, and reinforce the bilateral partnership.

This seminar will be held on-site only.
