What is Foreign Policy Luncheon?
The “Foreign Policy Luncheon” is organized monthly to provide an occasion for governors and business

Japanese Government and other authorities
in the field of international affairs. Speakers are invited to give a talk which is followed by
questions and answers. The meeting is conducted in Japanese. The “Foreign Policy Luncheon” is held
