JCIE USA Launches US Congressional Staff Exchange Alumni Interview Series
JCIE USA launched a new interview series featuring alumni of our US Congressional Staff Exchange Program. Since 1982, this program has taken bipartisan delegations of up-and-coming staffers on Capitol Hill to Japan each year, providing them with opportunities to deepen their understanding of Japan and US-Japan relations through a weeklong study tour in the country and post-trip activities.
