"Direction of Stability and Development in Asia - The Role of Japan and the United States"

2016-7-28 (Thu) 14:00 -

We've invited Harvard University Professor Emeritus Ezra Vogel, who published Japan as Number One and has become well-known in recent years as a leading expert in research on Deng Xiaoping, to give a lecture and join us in an open discussion.

In this seminar, we will hold a lecture and discussion on the role Japan and the United States must fulfill toward the further advancement of security in Asia, a region that has seen maritime advancement by China and rising tension on the Korean Peninsula in recent years. We will also be taking questions from attendees. We hope to see you there.
