Relationship between Japan and Asian countries and Immigration Policies in Japan

Synopsis

Asia is the center of growth of the world economy in the 21st century. However, there are several challenges relating to religion, race, and policy as well as in other areas. Under the regime of Abe, Japan has improved their relationship with other Asian countries while reinforcing national defense. Mr Nakayama will speak about the kind of roles Japan will try to play in the future of Asia. In addition, Japanese government is starting to think about revising immigration policies because of concerns about their aging society. Mr Nakayama will give an insight into the discussions within the Japanese Government. Having held important roles in both the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Nakayama will share his thoughts on the positioning of Japan in Asia. Adjunct Professor Tamura from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy will facilitate the talk.
