Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce and former Secretary of Transportation, speaks about the changing dynamics of U.S.-Japan relations at the Fifth Annual Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Lecture presented through the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. Mineta offers a "practical approach" to strengthening relations between the United States and Japan by looking at the situation comprehensively. While many experts say the relationship has never been better, Mineta suggests there is room for improvement, from working more closely together on global concerns to facilitating more student exchanges.
