On November 5, 2026, the Center for Mediation Support of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation held its fifth regular study session, bringing together fellows with expertise in different regions and fields.
In this study session, Dr. Naonori Kusakabe, Associate Professor of the College of Intercultural Communication of the Rikkyo University, gave a presentation on “Conflict and Peacebuilding in South Asia from the Perspecrive of Bangladesh” overseeing conflicts and peacebuilding efforts in South Asia, with particular focus on the current status, challanges, and prospects of conflicts in Bangladesh. This was followed by an exchange of views among the participants.
The Center for Mediation Support of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation will continue to build a network of experts studying conflict-affected regions and their surrounding areas, deepen understanding of the structure and background of conflicts through academic analysis, and apply these insights to mediation support activities.
