(BGF) – As part of our effort to engage the international community in discussion and debate on key issues of international concern, Boston Global Forum (BGF) recently met with Japanese leaders and scholars in Tokyo.
The visit to Tokyo was led by Nguyen Anh Tuan, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of BGF.. On March 21st, Mr. Tuan officially opened a BGF branch in Japan. Additionally, Mr. Tuan met with Representative Nobue Mita and gave a talk on the role of Japan in the world today. Following his presentation, Mr. Tuan sat down to dinner with Japanese business leaders and scholars at the International House of Japan in Tokyo.
Mr. Tuan’s visit to Tokyo was designed to engage with Japan, particularly on BGF’s 2014 Issue of the Year, which is U.S.-Chinese-Japanese relations. During his visit, Mr. Tuan sought to: invite guests and attendees for BGF conferences, events and ceremonies; to call on Japanese companies and scholars to sponsor BGF events, conferences, and research; and to organize BGF events in Japan.
Going forward, BGF will seek to build on the momentum generated by this successful trip to Japan in order to continue to actively engage Japanese leaders and scholars in debate on key international issues, such as U.S.-Chinese-Japanese relations.
