I have the utmost respect for former Prime Minister Nakasone Yasuhiro and feel very honored to have succeeded him as NPI Chairman.
Japan and the international community are now at a turning point. Japan must accu rately grasp the international situation and promote initiatives for peace and development in Japan and the world from a medium- to long-term perspective. To contribute to that effort, NPI will once again honor the late former Chairman Nakasone Yasuhiro, keeping in mind the founding principles of NPI and continuing our efforts. We would appreciate your ongoing support.

Since its establishment in 1988, Nakasone Peace Institute (NPI) has actively conducted research and disseminated the results in the areas of constitutional studies, diplomacy, and national security in cooperation with the political and economic spheres, with the collaboration of researchers from academia, government ministries and agencies, and leading corporations. We also collaborate with international policy research institutes and organize symposia in our role as an open and widely accessible think tank. In the midst of rapidly changing global circumstances, creating a compass based on a compre hensive perspective and taking a long-term outlook for the development of Japan and for global peace is an urgent and essential task. NPI will continue to engage in research activities that contribute toward Japan’s policy formulation and global stability and to communicate our findings. We sincerely request your continuing support in the future.
