The Twelfth Japan-Singapore Symposium (JSS) will be held in Singapore from 23 to 24 October 2017. The JSS was launched in 1994 by then Prime Minister of Japan Mr Murayama Tomiichi and then Prime Minister of Singapore Mr Goh Chok Tong. It began as a Track 1.5 forum between Japanese and Singapore government and business leaders, and scholars, focusing on business and economic cooperation and bridge-building between the two countries. Held biennially since 1995, the JSS provides opportunities for representatives of different sectors from both countries to exchange views on issues of interest and form closer ties. On 26 April 2016, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Japan and Singapore, both countries announced that the JSS would be upgraded to an annual event.
The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) and the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) are jointly hosting a public Forum on the occasion of the 12th JSS.
