On February 4, students of the Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration and its School of Economics and Business Administration held a discussion with H.E. Mr. John Roos, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, at the invitation of the U.S. Consulate General in Sapporo. The 90-minute talk, which took place at Sapporo International Communication Plaza, began with Mr. Roos sharing information about himself and his family, and progressed to his relationship with President Obama and how he supported Obama’s presidential bid. Mr. Roos earnestly answered questions ranging from the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Futenma Air Station, to the political and economic situation in Asia, and they even discussed Japanese youth’s view of the U.S. The ambassador encouraged the students to travel outside Japan and cultivate a global outlook to help build a new future for relations between the U.S. and Japan. The experience was highly worthwhile for all participants despite the brevity of the session.
