2015 will mark the 50th anniversary of the normalization of relations between Japan
and the Republic of Korea.  In recent years, however, tensions between the two countries
have increased, public attitudes within each country regarding the other have plumbed
new lows and a formal bilateral summit has not taken place since Prime Minister 
Abe took office two years ago. The negative consequences for Seoul and Tokyo - and
for Washington - have become a major cause for concern in all three capitols. Please
join us for a discussion on the current state of Japan-ROK relations, prospects 
for the coming year and implications for U.S. strategy in Asia.

*Lunch will be provided.

**The discussion is off-the-record. Seating will be allocated on a first-come, first-served
basis.
