1. The ASEAN-Japan Relationship Today and Future: Dialogue with ASEAN Committee of Permanent Representatives
2. We are pleased to announce the upcoming dialogue with ASEAN Committee of Permanent Representatives (CPR), which will take place at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), Kyoto University on 20 December 2010. The dialogue is joined by Permanent Representatives of ASEAN CPR and Ambassador Takio Yamada (Japan’s Ambassador to ASEAN). In welcoming them, we will have a keynote address by Prof. Takashi Shiraishi (Executive Member of the Council of Science and Technology Policy in the Cabinet Office). The event will be a great opportunity to exchange opinions from various perspectives about the future ASEAN and its relationship with Japan, and you are cordially invited to take part of it.
4. With the rise of China, there is a growing attention on the role of ASEAN in reshaping the regional order in East Asia. As the expanded East Asia Summit (EAS) with the participation of Russia and the U.S. is scheduled next year under the chairmanship of Indonesia, it is expected that Japan strengthens its diplomatic ties with ASEAN. It is in this context that the renewal of Tokyo Declaration and ASEAN-Japan Plan of Action adopted in 2003 will be a significant agenda in 2011. Thus, next year is expected to be the milestone for ASEAN-Japan diplomatic relationship. Prof. Takashi Shiraishi will share his idea on the reshaping of regional order in East Asia.
6. ASEAN CPR was established by the ASEAN Charter in 2009. Since the establishment, Permanent Representatives in the CPR have played an active role in promoting policies directed to ASEAN integration. Therefore, it is a great opportunity for Japanese academics interested in Southeast Asia to exchange their views on the region with ASEAN architects.
