~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prime Minister Abe has already visited 49 countries, more than any previous Japanese
leader, issued a National Security Strategy covering diplomacy as well as defense,
and is attempting to redefine Japan's global role as a proactive contributor to 
peace.  Currently Mr. Abe's tenure as Prime Minister looks secure enough to allow
him to bring many of his policies to fruition.

What have been the major foreign policy accomplishments and issues of the Abe administration
since its inception in December 2012? What are its foreign policy goals and priorities
going forward? How does the government's foreign policy interact with its economic
objectives?

Please join the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA to discuss these and other questions
with the Honorable KeizoTakemi, Liberal Democratic Party Member of the Japanese 
House of Councillors and an important voice on foreign policy
*The event will take place on October 8 at 12pm at The Occidental Grill & Seafood
(475 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20004).

**This is a public event. Seating is limited and will be allocated on a first-come,
first-served basis.
