Launch of Kanagawa International Foundation linking Kanagawa and the world

Chairperson, Yoshiharu FUKUHARA

The globalization of social and economic systems means that interactive and interdependent relations are becoming stronger in many areas, along with various challenges on a global scale.
As individuals, regardless of our intentions, each of us is a central player in these challenges as a member of the global society.
Alternatively, by cooperating in the progress of globalization, it is important to work to clarify local identity. What is needed even more is the intellect to calmly assess the trend of globalization and the vision and energy to explore local ways to do this.
To respond to such a request in times like these, a new foundation was formed in April 2007, by integrating the Kanagawa International Association (KIA) and the Kanagawa Foundation for Academic and Cultural Exchange (K-FACE).
By integrating these two organizations and merging their respective accumulated networks and resources, it is hoped that significant work can be achieved in many areas.
Kanagawa International Foundation (KIF) aims to take this work to new heights as “a fresh link between Kanagawa and the world”. Your future cooperation would be very much appreciated.
