Dr Shogo Akagawa, Editor-in-Chief for EMEA at Nikkei, provided Asia House with his insights on trade, economic and security trends in Japan at an off-the-record briefing on Thursday 17 October.
Speaking at Asia House, Dr Akagawa explored Japan’s economic and security relationship with countries including the UK, Germany, France and the US, while also reflecting on the potential impact of the US election on Japan’s future policies. Updates on Japan’s upcoming election, the key figures in new Japan Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s cabinet and Japan’s perspective of the new UK government’s approach to China, was also discussed.
Asia House Corporate Members asked Dr Akagawa’s views on a wide range of topics, including Japan’s perspective on expanding of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), future defence cooperation between the UK, Europe and Asia, as well as the significance of upcoming elections in France, Germany and Japan in 2025.
Chaired by Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence OBE, the briefing provided a valuable opportunity to gain insights from a prominent voice on Japanese and international relations.
