UP A LEVEL IN ASIA: 
Improving the Business and Investment Environment in
The Asia Pacific Region

A Luncheon Symposium Presented Jointly By
The Global Business Dialogue and The Embassy of Japan

Monday, March 22, 2010
12 Noon – 3:30 p.m.(Registration opens at 11:45 a.m.)
The St. Regis Hotel
923 16th Street, NW
Washington, DC

The Japanese Economic Miracle. The Four Tigers. The Rise of China. Collectively, these phrases and many others denote what everyone knows. In the past half-century the economic dynamism of the Asia Pacific Region has reordered the global economy and dramatically improved the lives of millions. Most expect that dynamism will continue. At the same time, a new commercial architecture for the region is emerging, and the increasingly urgent question is, what will that architecture look like in the years ahead? Which agreements or patterns of agreements will be most important? How compatible will national regimes be with regional and global agreements? And what should today’s global companies advocate and/or prepare for? Those are some of the issues we will look at on March 22.

Christopher Padilla, former Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade and now with IBM, will give the keynote address.


Panel Speakers will include former Ambassador Alan P. Larson, now with Covington and Burling, Tomoharu WASHIO from the Japan Economic Foundation in Tokyo; Shotaro HAMAMOTO of Kyoto University, Tami Overby from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Monica Whaley from the National Center for APEC, and others.
