Following the second Biden-Kishida summit held this past April, the NCAFP hosted another U.S.-Japan conference to discuss opportunities for the U.S.-Japan alliance to effectively meet evolving global security and economic challenges against the backdrop of global and domestic uncertainties. Some of the main topics included:
- What are the top foreign policy priorities for managing regional flash points and deescalating to avoid conflict?
- How can the U.S. and Japan chart a path forward for effective global engagement that balances security concerns and maintaining openness?
- What are realistic recommendations to further institutionalize alliance and multilateral cooperation?
To read more about the key takeaways and recommendations in response to these questions, please read the NCAFP’s latest report: “The Future of the U.S.-Japan Alliance: A Global Partnership.”
