Since the late 20th century, the economies of the United States and Japan have grown ever closer through trade, investment, and economic cooperation.

Join the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia and a panel of expert speakers to discuss the state of this economic friendship and hear what practices can further advance its mutual benefit. Topics will include common economic problems following the Covid-19 Recession, the developing Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity, the impact of demographic trends, Japan’s economic relationship with China, and much more.
