The Asahi Shimbun Asia Network (AAN) is a think tank that aims to promote information and human exchange in Asia. One of its major activities is to organize a network of scholars, researchers and journalists who exchange their ideas on pressing themes that are indispensable for mutual understanding in Asia, including annual international symposia. The AAN also invites young to mid-career reporters from major Asian newspapers to Japan and supports them in their Japanese studies and reporting activities.
