Presented by
The Honorable Jun Niimi
Consul General of Japan in Los Angeles


On December 16, 2012, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party returned to power in a landslide victory in elections of the lower house of the Diet. On December 26th, Shinzo Abe assumed the post of Prime Minister for the second time. This change of government comes at a time of significant diplomatic challenges for Japan, but therefore presents an opportunity for a renewed approach and fresh foreign policy initiatives.

Consul General Niimi comes to UCLA to give a presentation detailing the results and implications of the recent national poll, which delivered the LDP a supermajority in the lower house, and outline the economic and foreign policies of the new administration. He will put forth the new government's stance on the central importance of the Japan-U.S. Alliance and its renewed push for security and trade cooperation with both the U.S. and Japan's Asian neighbors.
