World Trade Center San Diego and UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS) jointly launched its 2017 Global Forum programming in February. The initiative, sponsored by Bank of America, offers GPS’s high-profile, visiting scholars a chance to address the region’s local business community. The first Global Forum program of 2017 featured the Former Minister of Foreign Affairs in Japan, the Honorable Yoriko Kawaguchi. Topics included the future of the U.S.-Japan relationship in a post-Trans Pacific Partnership world, the diplomatic relationship between the two countries and more.
