The Japan Institute of International Affairs

Annual Brochure October 2018

Message from the President

I assumed the post of President of the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) on June
27th, 2018 and I extend my warmest greetings to you all.
JIIA is an independent, nonpartisan policy think-tank focused on foreign and security policy.
In 1959, former Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida founded JIIA to deepen understanding ofinternational affairs in Japan and to support Japan’s international relations. Yoshida steered
Japan through the post-1945 transformation as prime minister until 1954, after which heserved as the first chairman of JIIA.
In 1960, JIIA received accreditation as an independent foundation from the Japanese Ministryof Foreign Affairs and, in 2012, JIIA was transformed into “a public-interest incorporated
foundation” to further advance its public role and mission.
In addition to a wide range of research programs, JIIA engages in dialogue and joint studies
with other institutions and experts at home and abroad. JIIA examines Japan’s foreign policy,
provides cutting-edge research and analysis, and offers recommendations to the government
and the wider public. JIIA is keen to reach out to a broad audience, including academia,
business circles and local communities, and is also pursuing the goal of educating
researchers and members of the younger generations.
With an extensive network of affiliated scholars, JIIA aims to serve as a leading resource for
information and analysis on international affairs in this complex world. I am privileged to lead
JIIA as its president, and I look forward to further developing the capacity of this promising
think-tank both quantitatively and qualitatively.
