Lecture
The Future of the Japan-Korea Relationship

June 28; 6:30pm
Japan Society, 333 East 47th Street, NYC

The current climate of rapprochement between Japan and South Korea owes 
much to bold initiatives of the past two years by Republic of Korea 
President Kim Dae-jung and the late Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi. 
Those initiatives have gone a long way in overcoming emotional barriers to 
greater cooperation on the political, economic, cultural and security 
fronts between the two countries. Still, at the threshold of a new century, 
many issues remain, including what kind of role Japan will play in the 
security of the region and the impact a unified Korea would have on the 
relationships among Japan, Korea and the United States. In the more 
immediate term, political uncertainty in Japan, following the death of 
Prime Minister Obuchi, remains to be played out. The prospects for the 
Korea-Japan partnership in the 21st century will be explored by a panel of 
distinguished experts: Donald P. Gregg, president and chairman, The Korea 
Society; Amb. Takekazu Kawamura, the Japanese Consul General in New York; 
Kim Kyung Won, president, Institute of Social Sciences; and Michael K. 
Young, dean and professor of law, The George Washington University Law 
School. William Clark, Jr., president, Japan Society, will preside. 
Co-sponsored by the Japan Society. Fee: $10 (member); $8 (non-member); $5 
(student). For further information or to RSVP, contact Richard Hitchcock at
