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 engaging in academic, cultural and educational exchanges, we hope to create a brighter future for Asia.
