Symposium
Details
As Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues and the world enters into an ever more uncharted period, Europe and Japan – or more broadly Europe and the Indo-Pacific region – face increasingly connected challenges. The symposium explored two of the key tasks for Japan and Europe, namely the need to enhance deterrence and to address the China challenges, while awaiting the US elections.
