Recognizing the strategic potential for expanding cooperation on regional and global challenges and the shared values among the United States, Japan, and India, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), in collaboration with Aspen Institute India, and the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) initiated the U.S.-Japan-India Strategic Dialogue in June 2006. Co-chaired by Yoshiyuki Kasai, Chairman of the Central Japan Railway Company, former CII Chief Mentor Tarun Das, CSIS President John Hamre and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, and directed by Michael Green of CSIS and now jointly with Karl F. Inderfurth, the Wadhwani Chair at CSIS, the Strategic Dialogue convened for the eighth time in Washington, D.C., from August 25 through August 27, 2011. As before, all the sessions and other events were held on an off-the-record basis to help stimulate debate. Meetings and consultations were also held with the administration. The Japanese delegation expressed deep appreciation for U.S. and Indian humanitarian assistance and disaster relief activities in response to the March 11 disasters. The U.S. and Indian delegations expressed support for reconstruction efforts and a robust recovery in Japan. Building on a number of discussions, participants have been urging all three governments to move towards a first track dialogue and enthusiastically welcome the decision to convene such a first-track meeting. Based on this most recent CSIS-JIIA-CII dialogue, and in anticipation of the three governments’ trilateral, participants recommended a focus on the following themes in particular:
