Watch FP’s U.S.-Japan Forum: A New Architecture for the Asia-Pacific Region
FP is convening top-level experts, diplomats, and government officials to discuss the importance of one of the Pacific’s most important bilateral relationships: the United States and Japan.
From the South China Sea to the newly inked Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, from cyber-security to the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, the Asia-Pacific is in the process of a major transformation. To better understand how these issues are set to change the regional balance, Foreign Policy is convening top-level experts, diplomats, and government officials to discuss the significance of one of the region’s most important bilateral relationships: the United States and Japan.
Admiral Dennis Blair, former U.S. director of national intelligence, commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Command and current chairman of the board and CEO of Sasakawa USA, will offer keynote remarks, while FP’s CEO and editor David Rothkopf will moderate, and conduct a one-on-one conversation with Stefan Selig, under secretary of commerce for international trade.
The full list of panelists can be found below. Watch #FPJapanForum live here.
