The Japan Foundation New York’s Global Partnerships program is dedicated to improving bilateral ties and mutual understanding between Japan and the United States. We also support dialogues, collaborations, and networks striving to find resolutions to issues of global concern that involve an array of institutions and individuals from Japan and the U.S., along with other countries and regions.
