The Sasakawa Japan–China Friendship Program builds upon its foundations as one of the largest private funds in the world, which was originally established in 1989 with a philosophy of “promoting understanding, nurturing talent, and furthering cooperation to shape the future.” Since then, it has been dedicated to encouraging greater understanding between the citizens of Japan and China in addition to creating an environment for constructive cooperation. SPF will continue to cultivate these efforts while focusing on how best to facilitate people-to-people exchanges and dialogues, provide educational resources and foster an environment conducive to enhancing mutual understanding, and stimulate socioeconomic development in both countries by sharing lessons learned and strengthening bilateral cooperation.
