ASIA FUTURE ASSOCIATION
INTRODUCTION
Today, Asia is an undisputed global hub for the social-economic network. Therefore, we must expand academic and educational exchanges across the world, to and from Asia. Such international exchanges are critical factors for national development and essential to cultivate highly educated and skilled human resources. These resources are key to Asia’s future, and remain the critical factors in its national development.
The Asia Future Association (AFA) aims to strengthen the ties between Japan and Vietnam and to expand this network across other Asian countries through the development of these human resources. By Connecting Nations through Education, Research, and Business, we aspire to contribute in a small way to a brighter future for Asia.

AFA GLOBAL STUDYJourney to become a Global Citizen
Today, as society and the economy become increasingly diverse and globalized, interaction with people from various cultures and value systems has become a more pressing issue than ever. When we look at international relations, many foreigners are visiting Japan, making exchanges with them indispensable. On the other hand, focusing on domestic issues in Japan reveals challenges such as an aging population, declining birth rates, and widening income disparities, which lead to value clashes and contribute to indifference toward others, resulting in poverty and various other social and economic problems.
In the AFA Global Studies program, we are exploring how to address these issues and conducting various tours and research aimed at realizing a society where diverse values can coexist without leaving anyone behind－a society of multicultural coexistence.
AFA Global Study focuses on five areas: understanding different cultures, language, building relationships, acquiring global knowledge, and practical application. Through domestic and international tours and study groups, we are committed to developing global human resources.
