From Asia Society: As Asia’s emerging centers of influence alter the global balance of power, the need for innovative thinking on international issues from both Asian and American perspectives has never been more urgent. Finding optimal solutions to these complex, far-reaching problems requires deeper understanding and cooperation among the United States, Asian nations, and the world. In response, Asia Society is establishing the Asia Society Policy Institute, a truly innovative think tank for the Asian Century.

ASPI will hold its formal launch event on April 8. Join us starting at 9:15 AM for a conversation between former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, an Honorary Counselor of the Institute, and IMF Deputy Managing Director Zhu Min about strategic trends in U.S.-Asia relations. Their discussion will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:
