Following the "NATO-Japan Symposium 2023: Emerging Security Challenges," we will once again convene experts from around the world to RCAST, The University of Tokyo to discuss how partner countries can collaborate with each other in the era where uncertainty reigns.

This year, we have the privilege of welcoming the Swedish Defense Minister to make a keynote speech. This will be followed by a discussion among NATO HQ experts, numerous Ambassadors (EU, Norway, Denmark, Romania), and Japan's Parliamentary Vice Minister of Defense, among others.

We will focus on 3 topics during the discussions. (1) Interconnectedness of the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific; (2) Navigating uncertain times following the 2024 elections; New government, new threats, new responses; and (3) The Future of NATO-Japan and IP4 Partnership.
