On 25 Apr, YCAPS was pleased to facilitate a social exchange between a delegation visiting Tokyo from the U.S. National Defense University (NDU) and local security experts. The NDU delegation was mostly comprised of senior U.S. military officers participating in a seminar study of national interests in the sea domain. They kindly hosted YCAPS members and friends who are government officials, diplomats, and academics for drinks and snacks at the New Sanno Hotel. The lively and informed conversation was very much appreciated by all who attended.
