IPS coverage of events






 

Currently in its seventh year, the Asian Voices Seminar series has built up a sizable following in Washington D.C. The segment of the Washington community with an interest in Asia looks to the seminars, which includes prominent speakers, well-known discussants and relevant topics, for information and perspectives from Asia.

The Asian Voices Seminar series of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA is in its seventh year of promoting a dialogue between Asian societies and the United States. Its main goal is to provide a forum for Asian voices to be heard within Washington D.C - voices on a wide range of regional and global topics. During its first seven years, the Asian Voices Seminar series has hosted talks on Chinese security policy, Japanese foreign policy, the peace process between North and South Korea, and the political situation in Myanmar, among many other issues.

Copies of seminar transcripts are also available at our library.
