Come and join us for an informal breakfast with all of the officers (andprobably a few of the local staff) at the U.S. Consulate in Nagoya.Nagoya's three American diplomats are Jonas Stewart, who was the Director of the Nagoya American Center (part of the U.S. Consulate) since 2007 and extended a year to be Principal Officer during the gap created by Max Kwak's retirement and the arrival next summer of Max'sreplacement.

Stephen Wheeler just arrived in Nagoya last month as the new Nagoya American Center Director, and Commercial Consul Edward Yagi (who also arrived in 2007) still has a couple of years left on his assignment as well.

Edward and Jonas are keen to update us on what theyhave seen and heard during their last three years in Nagoya and tointroduce Stephen to us. All three diplomats have agreed to give us their honest take on U.S.-Japan affairs, offer us their insights on business, cultural, and political issues, and answer any questions we have about U.S.-Japan relations, consular issues, or anything else of interest to the ACCJ community.

I am sure this will be a reallyinformative gathering, and also a rare and ideal opportunity to meet theentire U.S. Consulate diplomatic corps in one place, at one time.
