Japan Legislative Exchange

This program, sponsored by the Tokyo American Center at the U.S. Embassy (Tokyo), brings small groups of Japan’s Diet members to Washington, D.C., for a weeklong series of seminars and meetings on policy issues related to security, economics and trade. The program is designed to enhance participants’ understanding of U.S. policymaking in their areas of legislative interest. The Foundation arranges meetings and discussions with U.S. senators, members of the House of Representatives, Congressional staffers, administration officials, scholars, business leaders and officials in Washington’s public policy community. Past exchanges have included:
