ASEAN-JAPAN CENTRE REVAMPS WEBSITE WITH UPDATED DATABASE, INTERVIEW CONTENT

KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 (Bernama) -- The ASEAN-Japan Centre (AJC) has renewed its official website, aiming to give more people the opportunity to learn about the trust-based ASEAN-Japan relationship from different perspectives.

According to AJC in a statement, the website relaunched is the first in almost six years, and content will be updated from time to time.

The AJC's new tagline, "Building Bridges, Connecting Heart to Heart," is displayed on the website's top page, along with unique illustrations showcasing the diversity and the spirit of cooperation between ASEAN and Japan.

In addition to showcasing and reporting on the AJC's activities, the new website also features infographics, 'ASEAN-Japan Basic Information at a Glance', an ASEAN database that provides access to data on ASEAN trade and investment.

This includes basic economic indicators and the Revealed Comparative Advantage index, as well as tourism-related data such as an overview of the number of visitors to the region, and 'The People of ASEAN-Japan' interview content that presents stories of people who connect the people of the ASEAN-Japan region.

For more than 40 years since its establishment in 1981, the AJC has served as a bridge between the ASEAN Member States and Japan, actively contributing to building relations between the two regions through trade, investment, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.

Based on the vision statement "Trusted Partners" adopted by the leaders of the ASEAN Member States and Japan at the Commemorative Summit held in Tokyo, the AJC aims to deepen the "heart-to-heart" relationship between ASEAN and Japan, and together build a peaceful, sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous society.

The new website can be accessed at https://www.asean.or.jp/.
