On the eve of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s state visit to the United States on April 10, Hudson Institute will hold a half-day conference to examine the benefits of the deep and expanding US-Japan economic relationship. The event will focus on the importance of economic security and reliable supply chains; Japan’s significant and longstanding foreign direct investment across the US; and the potential benefits that an enriched US-Japan partnership offers to American workers and allied technological leadership.

Hudson’s Japan Chair will welcome Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb to make a major economic announcement. Following his address, the governor will sit down for a fireside chat with Hudson Japan Chair Kenneth R. Weinstein. Afterward, Hudson will host successive expert panels to discuss economic security cooperation between Washington and Tokyo and the importance of Japanese investment in the United States.
