On July 27, 2016, Admiral Harry Harris, the Commander of United States Pacific Command, gave a keynote speech at the Japan-U.S. Military Statesmen Forum (MSF) held in Tokyo. The forum brings together retired senior military leaders and active-duty officers from both countries, and it aims to facilitate a bilateral strategic dialogue and deeper discussions about the security issues that confront the U.S.-Japan alliance. RJIF is hosting its third annual forum this year; the first conference was held in Tokyo in 2014, and the second was held last year in Washington, D.C.
