This is a busy period in U.S.-Japan relations as well as Japanese politics, where legislators are debating a range of domestic and foreign policy issues. The Japan Innovation Party, a member of the opposition, is actively involved in shaping Japan's political and diplomatic trajectory. How does the Japan Innovation Party evaluate current dynamics, and what is its vision for Japan's future?

Please join the CSIS Japan Chair for an address by Mr. Seiji Maehara, co-president of the Japan Innovation Party and former minister of foreign affairs, followed by a moderated discussion with Dr. Kristi Govella, Senior Adviser and Japan Chair at CSIS.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
