Save the Dates (July 15-16) 7th Tokyo Global Dialogue
We are glad to inform that the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) will organize the 7th Tokyo Global Dialogue (TGD7) on “Steering the Global Order in Turbulent Times: Division, Competition and Cooperation” on July 15 -16, 2026 in Tokyo.
About the Tokyo Global Dialogue
JIIA has convened the Tokyo Global Dialogue as its annual flagship forum, bringing together senior officials and leading experts to examine the evolving international order and regional/international cooperation.
The Dialogue has become a recognized high-level platform originating from Tokyo, providing a space for cross-regional strategic reflection on the major challenges shaping the global landscape.
Context for the 7th Dialogue
As JIIA’s Strategic Outlook 2026 states the world in 2026 remains in a period of heightened uncertainty. Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East show no clear path toward resolution, while tensions among major powers continue to shape regional dynamics. Developments in the United States add further unpredictability to the global strategic landscape, and hybrid challenges have become more prominent.
Against this backdrop, countries are reassessing their national resilience and the frameworks through which they cooperate with partners. For Japan, the year also marks the 10th anniversary of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific vision and ongoing revisions to its key national security documents, making this Dialogue a timely opportunity to reflect on strategic direction and regional and international cooperation.
Programme Overview of the 7th Dialogue
This year, the programme will be organized around several focused sessions. While the specific session titles are still being finalized, the discussions will address interrelated questions: -how national security strategies are evolving in response to a more complex and contested strategic environment
-how economic statecraft can be reframed to align national strategy with open and trusted markets
-how partners can strengthen resilience and cooperation across the Indo-Pacific, including through the next decade of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific vision
-how developments within the United States are influencing global order and allied strategy and
-how Japan can position itself for renewed strategic leadership amid uncertainty.
