Tokyo 東京
Leading the Conversation in Asia
The Pivot Point of Global Strategy
The Tokyo branch, founded in 2021, is the newest YPFP branch and the first in Asia. It serves as a nexus for scholars, students, and professionals to connect with the global foreign policy community. At YPFP Tokyo, we reinforce a commitment to truly global leadership by connecting those living in or interested in Asia with the rest of the world. Every discussion and project here is a step toward a more integrated and informed international perspective.
Defining the Indo-Pacific Future
In a region as dynamic as Asia, your voice matters. We help you move beyond the business card to engage in programs that provide in-depth knowledge of specific regions and subjects.
Join our branch to participate in Peer-Led Discussion Groups, International Research Projects, and high-level seminars with human rights experts and climate changemakers. We provide the platform; you provide the vision.
