Trilateral Forum Tokyo Japan-U.S.-European Dialogue Asia-Pacific Regional Architecture and Trilateral Cooperation ORGANIZED BY: The German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Tokyo Foundation SUPPORTED BY: Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership and the Delegation of the European Union to Japan AGENDA FRIDAY, JUNE 7 19:00 Welcome Dinner Hosted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Tokyo Foundation Location: Anise Room, 2nd Floor, Grand Hyatt Tokyo (6-10-3 Roppongi Minato-ku, Tokyo) Remarks: Masahiro Akiyama: President, Tokyo Foundation Craig Kennedy: President, German Marshall Fund of the United States 1 SATURDAY, JUNE 8 Location: Europa House, Delegation of the European Union to Japan (4-6-28 Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku) 9:00 Welcome Remarks Hans Dietmar Schweisgut: Ambassador, Delegation of the European Union to Japan 9:15–10:30 Session 1: China and the Future of International Order The international order that exists today—a web of interlocking institutions, rules, norms, and relationships—has for six decades advanced peace, prosperity, and human rights. Yet how an increasingly powerful China will relate to the international order remains a key area of uncertainty for the United States, Japan, and Europe. Is China moving closer to the international order or away from it? What lessons can we draw from several decades of engagement with a rising China? Going forward, how can trilateral cooperation reinforce the global order and thereby channel China’s growing strength in a constructive direction? If China ultimately decides to oppose the existing order, what steps should the world’s leading democracies take? Moderator: Daniel Twining: Senior Fellow for Asia, German Marshall Fund of the United States Speakers: Gary Schmitt: Resident Scholar and Director of Ware Security Center, American Enterprise Institute Hans Dietmar Schweisgut: Ambassador, Delegation of the European Union to Japan Satoshi Morimoto: Professor, Takushoku University; Former Minister of Defense, Japan Bonji Ohara: Research Fellow, Tokyo Foundation; Former Naval Attaché in China 10:30–11:00 Coffee Break 11:00–12:15 Session 2: The Fall and Rise of Global Trade Diplomacy For more than a decade, global trade liberalization has stalled, with seemingly insurmountable disagreements between developed and emerging 2 market economies preventing the successful conclusion of the Doha Round of trade talks. Yet parallel developments—the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the recently announced Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the EU-Japan free trade agreement—amount to a new push for global trade liberalization outside the framework of the World Trade Organization. What are the greatest roadblocks to the realization of these agreements? How would they change the geopolitical landscape of Asia, and how will China react? Could they provide the building blocks for an even larger free trade area bridging the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans? Moderator: Bruce Stokes: Director, Pew Research Center’s Global Economics Program Speakers: Tom Wyler: Senior Advisor for International Trade and Investment, US Department of Commerce Marjut Hannonen: Member of the Cabinet, Commissioner Karel De Gucht, European Commission Yoriko Kawaguchi: Member of the House of Councillors; Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Former Minister of the Environment, Japan Yorizumi Watanabe: Professor, Keio University 12:30–13:45 Luncheon: A Conversation with the Honorable Itsunori Onodera: Minister of Defense, Japan 14:00–15:15 Session 3: The Contest for Innovation Supremacy In the United States, Japan, and Europe, innovation will drive future economic growth and job creation. Yet the technological leadership traditionally enjoyed by the world’s established democracies can no longer be taken for granted as China, India, and other emerging market economies invest more in education and research and development. To what degree do the United States, Japan, and Europe confront a competitiveness challenge? What untapped opportunities exist for trilateral cooperation to maintain innovation leadership? How will potentially game changing technologies such as 3D printing and rapidly changing industries such as robotics influence economic growth and job creation in all three? How are these issues perceived in the private sector? Moderator: Shinichi Kitajima: Advisor, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance; Former Japanese Ambassador to the International Organizations in Geneva 3 Speakers: Stephanie Shipp: Senior Policy Analyst, IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute Anne Laurent: Head of European and International Affairs, Directorate General for Competitiveness, Industry and Services, French Ministry of Economy Kenji Tsukamoto: Chief Technology Officer, Executive Officer, Technology Headquarters, Showa Denko K.K. Takako Ebata: Former Member of the House of Representatives, Democratic Party of Japan 15:15–15:45 Coffee Break 15:45–17:00 Session 4: A Tipping Point for Nuclear Nonproliferation Global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and their delivery systems are approaching a tipping point. North Korea’s successful development of nuclear weapons and testing of long-range missiles and Iran’s progress toward a nuclear capability despite increasingly punitive international sanctions threaten the viability of the existing nonproliferation order. How should the United States and Japan respond to North Korea’s growing provocations? What can the EU bring to the table? What lessons for Iran can the United States and Europe draw from North Korea’s nuclear breakout? How can the world’s established democracies work to ensure that Iran and North Korea do not trigger a cascade of nuclear proliferation by insecure neighbors? Moderator: Tsuneo Watanabe: Senior Fellow, Tokyo Foundation Speakers: Christopher Johnstone: Director for Northeast Asia, Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Department of Defense Rem Korteweg: Senior Research Fellow, Centre for European Reform Nobumasa Akiyama: Professor, Hitotsubashi University Keiichi Ono: Director, Northeast Asia Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan 19:00–21:00 Breakout Dinners 4 SUNDAY, JUNE 9 8:00–9:00 Breakfast: “Senkaku” and Maritime Security in the Asia-Pacific Moderator: Masahiro Akiyama: President, Tokyo Foundation Speakers: Tomohiko Taniguchi: Councilor, Cabinet Secretariat of the Abe administration Rommel Banlaoi: Chairman of the Board and Executive Director, Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research 9:15–10:30 Session 5: The New Energy Matrix The world’s energy system is in flux with the discovery of shale gas and a move away from nuclear power in some developed countries, including Japan. In this world, how can the United States, Japan, and Europe best secure energy resources? Does the emergence of the United States as a net energy exporter open up new opportunities for Japan and Europe? What will be the role of traditional energy suppliers such as Russia and the Middle East and how might relations with them evolve? Will greater energy self-sufficiency on the part of the United States allow for increased cooperation on climate change initiatives? Moderator: Yoichi Takita: Deputy Chief Editorial Writer, Nihon Keizai Shimbun Speakers: Julia Nesheiwat: Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Energy Resources, US Department of State François Billot: Vice President, Offers & Projects, Reactors & Services Business Group, Areva Nobuo Tanaka: Global Associate for Energy Security and Sustainability, Institute of Energy Economics, Japan; Former Executive Director of the International Energy Agency Hikaru Hiranuma: Research Fellow, Tokyo Foundation; Member of the Science Council of Japan, Energy Supply Problems Subcommittee of the Cabinet Office 10:30–11:00 Coffee Break 5 11:00–12:15 Session 6: Reimagining Development Cooperation The rise of emerging power donors and the growing role of non-state actors have opened up new frontiers of development cooperation. At the same time, traditional providers of development assistance—the United States, Japan, and Europe—confront growing fiscal constraints. Do the practices of emerging power donors and non-state actors reinforce or undermine existing standards of development assistance? How can the world’s established democracies enhance development cooperation with each other? What can they learn from new players, and what areas should they prioritize? Moderator: Simon Long: Asia Columnist, Economist Speakers: Steven Feldstein: Policy Director, United States Agency for International Development Denis Chaibi: Member of the Cabinet, Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva, European Commission Akiko Fukushima: Senior Fellow, Tokyo Foundation; Professor, Aoyama Gakuin University Kae Yanagisawa: Director-General, East and Central Asia and the Caucasus Department, Japan International Cooperation Agency 12:15–12:45 Coffee Break 12:45–14:00 Session 7: Burma in Flux Burma’s political opening after decades of military rule marks a major shift in the Asian strategic landscape. However, the outcome of the political transition in Burma remains uncertain, as demonstrated by the recent upsurge in sectarian violence. Where is Burma headed? What is the appropriate balance and sequencing of economic engagement and continued political reforms? How can the United States, Japan, and Europe cooperate to ensure a consolidation of Burma’s political opening? Are other regional actors likely to complement or undermine such trilateral efforts?
