The Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths Programme (JENESYS) was launched by the Government of Japan as a result of the Second East Asia Summit (EAS) in January 2007 during the term of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It is a 35-billion-yen youth exchange program, inviting about 6,000 young people to Japan mainly from the EAS member states (ASEAN, Australia, China, India, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea) every year for five years with a view to establishing a basis of Asia’s stalwart solidarity by expanding youth exchange. The program is expected to deepen mutual understanding among young people who will assume important roles in the next generation in each East Asian country. Various kinds of exchange programs including inviting and dispatching youths have been implemented in cooperation with concerned countries and organizations.
