WASHINGTON—Hudson Institute is pleased to announce that Ken Moriyasu, a journalist and analyst specializing in Eurasian and Indo‑Pacific strategy, has joined as a senior fellow focusing on Greater Asia—the strategic region stretching from Turkey to Japan.
“We are fortunate that Ken Moriyasu has chosen to join the Hudson team as a Senior Fellow focusing on Greater Asia,” said John P. Walters, president and CEO of Hudson Institute. “Few individuals have his depth of on-the-ground experience across the Indo-Pacific and Eurasia, combined with a sharp strategic eye. Ken’s insights will be invaluable as Hudson continues to analyze the critical arc from Tokyo to Ankara and beyond.”
Moriyasu previously served as Washington correspondent for Nikkei Asia, where he covered US foreign policy in the Indo‑Pacific and the evolving strategic landscape across Eurasia. Over his career at Nikkei, he served as a six‑time foreign correspondent with postings in Washington, Cairo, Beijing, Dalian, New York, and Washington again.
Moriyasu was the last journalist to interview late Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, speaking with him one day before his stroke in 2006. He has also interviewed King Abdullah of Jordan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, and senior decision makers in Tokyo, Washington, and Beijing.
He received his degree in journalism from Sophia University in Tokyo, where he was also a running back for the university’s American football team.
