ASEAN-Japan Centre (AJC) has a mandate on promotion of 4 pillars, namely:
1) export from ASEAN to Japan, 2) investment, 3) tourism, and 4) people-to-people exchange.
More importantly, we work to mobilise, collaborate and advocate for:
1) inclusive, resilient and sustainable trade,
2) sustainable impact investment,
3) sustainable and responsible toursm, and
4) empowering exchange for youth and leadership,
On the front of impact investment, we work as an Enabler, collaborating directly with our counterpart (Investment Ministries and Agencies in all ASEAN Member States) to promote impact investment through seminars, collaborative workshops, company visits, research publications among others.
