Speakers:
The United States faces a multidimensional challenge in the Indo-Pacific, but Alaska offers numerous solutions. Alaska’s wealth of natural gas can help the US meet the Indo-Pacific’s rapidly growing energy needs. The state’s location and military bases will be strategically important in the event of a regional contingency. Finally, Japanese and allied investment in Alaska helps to grow America’s relationships in significant, material ways.
Hudson’s Japan Chair will welcome Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) to give a keynote speech on Alaska’s strategic importance to the free and open Indo-Pacific. Following his address, the senator will sit down for a fireside chat with Hudson Japan Chair Kenneth R. Weinstein to discuss Alaska’s role in energy security, national security, and foreign direct investment as well as how the next administration should approach these issues.
