Japan Trilateral Forum

Japan Trilateral Forum, Brussels, fosters the development of the Japan-Europe-United States relationship. Japan and Europe share a commitment to democratic values, economic stability, and a rules-based global order. In particular, over the last few years, Japan-Europe cooperation has made numerous in-roads, including at the 25th EU-Japan Summit where the two sides signed a historic Economic Partnership Agreement and Strategic Partnership Agreement. As Tokyo, Brussels, and Washington adjust to changing strategic and economic realities, the scope for cooperation between the two sides will continue to broaden. In a world of increasing multi-polarity and diminishing resources, amid an uncertain global order, Japan Trilateral Forum, Brussels, brings together policymakers, intellectuals, journalists, and business leaders from Japan, Europe, and the United States to build networks and discuss an ambitious agenda for cooperation.
