Cambridge, MA – April 21, 2025
On April 21 afternoon at Harvard Business School, a high-level strategic dialogue will convene to advance the New Economic Alliance Initiative, a bold cooperative framework among the United States, Japan, India, Vietnam, South Korea, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

Minister Elisabeth Moreno, former French Minister and Co-Founder of the Boston Finance Accord for AI Governance 24/7, will meet with Honorable Mark Kennedy and the Boston Global Forum (BGF) Coordinator Team to discuss strategic deployment of the alliance—centered on finance, technology cooperation, and long-term resilience.

The discussion will address critical issues including:

  • Strengthening democratic nations’ capacity in finance and AI-driven innovation
  • Establishing a trusted, rules-based economic and technological alliance
  • Confronting economic and geopolitical challenges—particularly those posed by China

This dialogue marks a significant milestone toward implementing the New Economic Alliance, inspired by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Indo-Pacific vision and rooted in the principles of the AI World Society (AIWS) and the New Democracy Economy.
