In 2021, Asia House, supported by the Government of Japan, conducted a research project exploring the future state of UK-Japan relations as the two trade partners navigate an increasingly complex world. 

The research, which included focus groups and interviews with leading business and policy figures, resulted in a forward-looking report on the potential direction of UK-Japan relations post Brexit, including the opportunities arising from a closer economic partnership, and the challenges that need to be overcome. The report was launched at a digital conference on Wednesday 10 March 2021.
