The MSF is the only standing non-governmental military-to-military dialogue platform between the two countries. The theme of this year’s forum is “Japan-U.S. Alliance: The Era of Geo-Economic Competition.” Retired top military leaders, a number of active-duty leaders, and civilian policymakers will participate in this year’s MSF and discuss pressing issues such as North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs and maritime and cyber security.
