Ambassador emphasizes trust, standards and shared values in US–Japan Genesis collaboration
Summary
In the fireside chat, Ambassador Yamada said trust and shared values underpin Japan’s selection as the Genesis mission’s first international partner and called for joint work on technical standards alongside scientific cooperation.
Ambassador Yamada said trust underpins the U.S.–Japan partnership and argued that the countries should shape next-generation technical standards that reflect shared values. “That is trust,” he said, describing longstanding diplomatic and economic ties as a foundation for collaborative science and technology work.
Yamada also pointed to recent Commerce Department statistics (as cited by him) showing Japan as a major investor in the United States and argued that scientific partnerships will reinforce economic competitiveness. He said the Genesis partnership will seek to align technology development with values and principles that benefit both countries and the wider international community.
