Eight participants from ASEAN member countries took part in the workshop with young politicians in the Japanese Diet and local assemblies as well as young leaders from various sectors of Japan. The participants discussed issues of mutual concern to Japan and ASEAN, such as the rise of China and ASEAN-Japan cooperation.
