The International House of Japan (IHJ) co-hosted the “Japan-Korea Policy Dialogue 2026” with The Asan Institute for Policy Studies on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, in Seoul, Korea.

Following last year’s dialogue in Tokyo, experts from Japan and Korea exchanged views under the theme “Evolution of the Indo-Pacific Security Architecture and Japan-Korea Strategic Cooperation.” Topics included deterrence cooperation on North Korea, security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, and cooperation on AI and the defense industry.

IHJ will continue to create opportunities for dialogue among experts from Japan and Korea, and to pursue discussions toward strengthening relations between the two countries.
