The Asahi Shimbun AJW , the English digital version of The Asahi Shimbun, launched AJW Forum in December 2012 to provide a lively place where international thinkers offer analyses and opinions focused on East Asian affairs involving Japan, China, the Korean Peninsula and other countries. With its participating experts, researchers, journalists, business leaders and others, AJW Forum aims to help promote better mutual understanding in Asia. This forum will build on the vast networks of experts and professionals in Asian nations cultivated by The Asahi Shimbun Asian Network, which is now integrated into AJW Forum.
AJW Forum accepts your Op-Ed articles at (ajw_forum@asahi.com.)
