KCS Experts' Round Table

The KCS Experts' Roundtable invites researchers and policy specialists from across the world as guests, for periodic discussions with experts and government officials. These meetings are a place to share expertise related to strategic planning and international matters through constructive dialogue and to develop concrete proposals. Meet participants, including high-level government officials, in a private environment. A broad set of themes is debated including security, economic policy and international relations, as well as other matters facing Japan and the world.
