The Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) held the 6th Tokyo Global Dialogue (TGD6) on Wednesday, January 29 and Thursday, January 30. This year’s theme was “A Quest for Global Resilience” and, as noted by JIIA President Kenichiro Sasae in his opening remarks at the beginning of the conference, “This theme conveys a sense of crisis about the diminishing governance fostered within the international community during the post-Cold War era, as well as a strong message that Japan must strive to revive and regenerate this power as a member of the liberal camp.”

On January 29, the first day of the conference, discussions were held in sessions on “The New US Administration and International Order,” “Lessons from the History of the Twentieth Century,” and “Europe’s Security.” This day was wrapped up by remarks from Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. On the following day (January 30), discussions were held in sessions on “Artificial Intelligence and International Peace and Security,” “Chokepoints in the Indo-Pacific,” and “Re-constructing Global Architecture” before President Sasae concluded the two-day event with closing remarks.
