NDIA International Division Attaché Roundtable Series

Description

The next NDIA International Division Roundtable will feature Major General Hiroyuki Sugai, JASDF, who serves as the Defense and Air Attaché at the Embassy of Japan in the United States.  This Roundtable will be held in-person at at NDIA.  At a time when China is becoming more regionally assertive, the government of Japan is updating its National Defense Strategy, National Defense Program Guidelines, and the next Mid-term Defense Program.  While these documents are not yet finalized, Major General Sugai will give a brief overview of Japan's Defense Programs and Defense Architecture; some policy matters, such as, the Ministry of Defense approach to achieving the "Free and Open Indo-Pacific" vision by the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe; the significance of the Japan-U.S. security relationship; and the important role of U.S. and Japanese industrial cooperation in that relationship.  The presentation promises to be very informative and will be followed by a Q&A session.

NDIA has a policy of strict compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. The antitrust laws prohibit competitors from engaging in actions that could result in an unreasonable restraint of trade. Consequently, NDIA members must avoid discussing certain topics when they are together – both at formal association membership, board, committee, and other meetings and in informal contacts with other industry members: prices, fees, rates, profit margins, or other terms or conditions of sale (including allowances, credit terms, and warranties); allocation of markets or customers or division of territories; or refusals to deal with or boycotts of suppliers, customers or other third parties, or topics that may lead participants not to deal with a particular supplier, customer or third party.
