Programs and Activities
Kansai American Center brings in experts from the United States for speaker programs (lecture meetings and seminars) and other information activities in such fields as politics, economics, society, culture, the environment and U.S.-Japan relations.
We arrange such programs to encourage free and frank exchanges of views on issues of common interest for both the U.S. and Japan. The goal is to promote better and more friendly relations between the two nations through mutual understanding.
