With the economic globalization making rapid progress, Asian countries are now faced with an urgent need to foster leaders who can serve as a driving force in their industrial, academic and government circles in order to smoothly continue sustainable growth. To this end, IIST invites to Japan promising leaders from Asian countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam that are expected to develop economic exchange with Japan in years to come. The program provides participants with economic and industrial tours, opinion exchange with their counterparts in Japan, etc., thereby supporting the development of human resources who will contribute to regional economic growth in their own countries in the future.
