The CSIS Japan Chair, in collaboration with Japan Center for Economic Research (JCER), cordially invites you to What’s Next for Japanese Security Policy and U.S.-Japan Relations? Perspectives from the Diet. Over the past year, new leadership has taken office in both the United States and Japan amid an increasingly uncertain global environment and intensifying security challenges. In March 2026, President Trump and Prime Minister Takaichi met in Washington, underscoring the continued strength and importance of U.S.-Japan relations in this shifting landscape. The Takaichi administration is also preparing to revise Japan’s three strategic documents—the national security strategy, national defense strategy, and defense build-up program—in response to these developments. Join us on Monday, May 4 for a discussion with Itsunori Onodera (Member of the House of Representatives and former Minister of Defense) and Fumitake Fujita (Member of the House of Representatives and Secretary-General of Nippon Ishin) as they assess the outlook for U.S.-Japan relations and priorities for Japan’s new strategic documents. This event is made possible through general support to CSIS. --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
