The Honorable Shigeru Kitamura

Former Secretary General of Japan’s National Security Secretariat

Listen to Event Audio

India’s stance on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led some to reexamine the trajectory of Indian grand strategy. Over time, is India more likely to align closely with its primary Quad partners—Japan and the United States—or is it more likely to become a third pole in international affairs, independent of both China and the US? Please join the Honorable Shigeru Kitamura, the former secretary general of Japan’s National Security Secretariat, who will examine India’s strategic trajectory in a conversation with Hudson Institute Distinguished Fellow Ken Weinstein.
