Now the Real Work Begins: The U.S.-Japan Alliance Agenda

The CSIS Japan Chair cordially invites you to "Now the Real Work Begins: The U.S.-Japan Alliance Agenda ."
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm Eastern Time

Following Japan’s Upper House elections on July 10, the stage is set for an ambitious U.S.-Japan alliance agenda. In May, President Biden met with Prime Minister Kishida and Quad partners in Japan, where he launched the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. Biden and Kishida also participated in the G-7 and NATO summit meetings in June to address pressing geopolitical and economic challenges such as the war in Ukraine. The two countries will convene the first economic “2+2” ministerial in late July, and bilateral consultations will accelerate as Japan considers revisions to its National Security Strategy and other key documents due later this year. What can we expect in this vital relationship in the months to come?

Please join us for a conversation on these issues with Edgard Kagan, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for East Asia and Oceania on the National Security Council, and Pamela Phan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Asia at the U.S. Department of Commerce. This discussion will be moderated by Christopher Johnstone, Senior Adviser and Japan Chair at CSIS.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
