Summary of the Symposium:
Economic Security Research Program (ESRP) at the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST) at The University of Tokyo, along with the NATO HQ and the Royal Danish Embassy Tokyo (NATO Contact Point Embassy), will co-host the "NATO-Japan Symposium 2024: Partnership in Uncertain Times."　
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.

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.
