Center for Japanese Studies Seminar Series

Yoichiro Sato (associate professor, regional studies department, Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies) will give a talk titled, "Japan, the Six-Party Talks, and U.S.-Japan Cooperation on the North Korean Issues."

Despite the close security alliance between the United States and Japan and the image of close relations between President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, the two countries have naturally had divergent interests, perceptions, and policy preferences over the issues involving North Korea.

The degree of convergence and coordination between the two countries has varied over different periods and different issues. Journalistic and scholarly perceptions of this coordination vary even more.

Sato will present his view on this question based on his recent interviews with key U.S. officials.
