Beyond 2015: ASEAN-Japan Strategic Partnership for Democracy, Peace and Prosperity

The Japan Center for International Exchange, the Keio Institute of East Asian Studies, and the Centre for Strategic and International Studies of Indonesia jointly present a public symposium to mark the 40th anniversary of ASEAN-Japan friendship and cooperation.

This symposium is founded upon the "ASEAN-Japan Strategic Partnership Dialogue" project, which was commissioned by the government of Indonesia and funded by the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund, and its resulting policy recommendations entitled "Beyond 2015:
ASEAN-Japan Strategic Partnership for Democracy, Peace, and Prosperity in Southeast Asia."

This past decade, the needs and priorities of Japan and ASEAN have undergone important changes. This symposium will examine what role Japan can play in order to contribute to the continuous growth of the ASEAN community and to promote a genuine partnership in the fields of economy, politics, security, society and culture.

Former ASEAN Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan will deliver the keynote address.

We warmly extend this invitation to all those interested in, among others, the future of ASEAN and Japan's relations, economic and defense cooperation, human security and non-traditional security issues, peacekeeping and conflict prevention, the post-MDGs era, as well as civil society issues.
