On June 26, U.S. CULCON, together with the U.S.-Japan Council, convened the third summit of organizations involved in U.S.-Japan legislative exchange.  The purpose of the meeting was to share information about upcoming exchanges, develop a strategy to increase the number of U.S. congressional members participating in legislative exchange and to strengthen U.S. congressional interest in and knowledge about Japan.  The meeting was part of an ongoing effort by the organizations to communicate and collaborate on ideas about legislative exchange, to avoid duplication of efforts and to share resources.  The event was hosted by the Embassy of Japan.
