The Japan Foundation (JF) is pleased to announce the launch of a new intellectual collaboration program, the JF Southeast Asia Partnership (JFSEAP) Program. This program is a component of the “Partnership to Co-create a Future with the Next Generation: WA Project 2.0,” a comprehensive people-to-people exchange initiative aimed at fostering exchange among the next generation and develop human resources in Japan and ASEAN.

The JFSEAP program is designed to build a multi-layered network for intellectual dialogue between Japan and ASEAN countries and contribute to addressing global common issues facing contemporary international society.

Through these efforts, the program aims to create new opportunities for dialogue and intellectual exchange between Japan and ASEAN.
