The Institute for Indo-Pacific Security wishes to express its congratulations to the Honorable Sanae Takaichi on her election to be the 104th Prime Minister of Japan. Already known for her wealth of knowledge and experience in a wide variety of policy issues, Prime Minister Takaichi is positioned to address Japan’s most pressing challenges, as well as lead Japan to navigate through complex geostrategic challenges that the Indo-Pacific region faces. We are confident that the U.S.-Japan relationship will continue to thrive under her tenure and look forward to seeing her succeed in her new historic role as the first female prime minister of Japan.
The Honorable Randall G. Schriver

Chairman
