Asia Forum
As a place in society to propose ideas
While adapting to the changing environment
it is essential to remain aware of our solidarity as a member
of the Asian community, and it was with consideration of '
Japan within Asia, Asia within the World' and 'Solidarity
in the 21st Century' that the program was established in 1993.
The Asia Forum allows the scholars to present their observations,
various fieldwork, results of exchange and develop their respective
arguments.
We hope that this Program will promote strong bonds of solidarity
and friendship, as well as develop mutual understanding and
interpersonal identification.
Towards the possibility of creating a Global Community
The Asia Forum was inaugurated in 1993 amongst
the diversity of Asia that differs in culture, history, race
and language. Its purpose was the research of and proposal
of 'the possibility of creating a trans-national community'.
It was first held in Kanazawa City , Ishikawa Prefecture .
Under the theme of 'Environment and Development', the panel
discussion between the Japanese students and scholars that
continued on from the keynote speech of Mr. Akito Arima was
opened.
This forum carries out an important role in the formation
of the future community, expansion of exchange networks and
promoting international understanding
