Join the public face and voice of current Japanese policy in this conversation with Noriyuki Shikata, who currently serves as Cabinet Secretary for Public Affairs for Prime Minister Kishida’s administration. We will cover topics ranging from Japan’s defense and foreign policy, including the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” and support for Ukraine, all the way to PM Kishida’s concept of “New Form of Capitalism” and Japan’s vision of a “green transformation”.
