Japan Trilateral Forum

The Japan Trilateral Forum fosters the development of the Japan-Europe-United States relationship. Japan, Europe, and the US share a commitment to democratic values, economic stability, and a rules-based global order. In addition to the strong economic and security ties between Japan and the US, Japan's relationship with Europe has deepened with developments such as the signing of their historic Economic Partnership Agreement and Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2018. The recent increase in European attention to the Indo-Pacific region also presents new trilateral opportunities. As Tokyo, Brussels, and Washington adjust to changing strategic realities, the scope for coordination and collaboration between the three sides continues to broaden. At this critical time, the Japan Trilateral Forum brings policymakers, intellectuals, journalists, and business leaders to Brussels to build networks and discuss an ambitious agenda for cooperation.
