We would like to invite you to our upcoming webinar, co-sponsored by CSGJ and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. Please find more information and registration details below. Thank you!

*Title:* Japan, the Indo-Pacific and Lessons for North America: Economic Security, Interdependence and Supply Chain Resilience

*Date and Time: *May 18th 7:00pm - 8:30pm (ET) / 4:00pm - 5:30pm (PT) / 19th 8:00am - 9:30am (JST)

*Location: *Online Webinar

*Description: *As Canada and the United States develop new Indo-Pacific and economic security strategies, Japan serves as a useful model. Japan now has a Cabinet Minister specifically responsible for economic security as Japan addresses the economic fallout and supply chain disruptions due to US-China tensions, global decoupling, COVID and the war in Ukraine. To build resilience, Japanese companies are proactively diversifying their supply chains beyond China. How will these trends play out in the post-pandemic era, and what are the implications for North America? Join experts Dr. Kazuto Suzuki (GraSPP, University of Tokyo) & Dr. Ulrike Schaede (University of California San Diego) for this discussion, moderated by APF Canada Distinguished Fellow Deanna Horton.
