Modern economies cannot operate without reliable communications, and the worldwide demand for greater connectivity and information will only continue to increase. Communications security is therefore vital to both economic security and national security. The United States and Japan need to work together to deliver a shared vision for diverse and resilient communications infrastructure for future generations through undersea cables, satellites, digital services, or other means. 

The fourteenth US-Japan Dialogue on Digital Economy highlighted American and Japanese interest in collaboration in areas like Open RAN networks and engagement with third countries. Join Hudson for a discussion on these and other areas where the US and Japan can work together to build the future of communications security.
