Video report: The Future of Japan-US Relations Under the New Biden Administration (Dr. Mieko Nakabayashi, Professor, School of Social Sciences, Waseda University)

Inaugurated on January 20, US President Joe Biden has demonstrated his intent to repair the deep divisions in American society by establishing four key issues for his administration: COVID-19, economic recovery, racial equity, and climate change. While indicating plans for international cooperation with a return to the Paris Agreement, he has also shown that he will continue taking a hardline stance against China, which the US is said to be in a new cold war with. Prime Minister Suga has announced that he plans to cooperate closely with the Biden administration, and further strengthen the Japan-US alliance. How will Japan and the US build cooperative relationships not only for security issues, but for trade issues and the COVID-19 pandemic as well?

The FPCJ invited Dr. Mieko Nakabayashi, a professor at Waseda University, to discuss the future of Japan-US relations.

The briefing had a total of 47 participants including journalists from China, Denmark, Hong Kong, South Korea, the UK and the US.
