Notice of cancellation of the 22nd Asia Pacific Forum, Awaji Conference

The 22nd Asia Pacific Forum, Awaji Conference (scheduled to be held from August 6th to 7th with the theme “The Future of the Pandemic and Sino-U.S. Tensions under the Biden Administration”) has been canceled for the following reasons.

1. In Tokyo, the state of emergency has been declared, and it is better to control the movement of people over a wide area as much as possible.
2. It is difficult to have discussions and personal exchanges online by a large number of people.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused everyone involved, including those who were planning to visit the venue or view online.
Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
