Now in its 25th anniversary, the Children's Conference aims to accelerate the development of people who are capable of "dialogue" and "action," based on children's "heart-to-heart exchanges" and experiences that teach the importance of diversity and compassion.

In this forum, we will frankly consider the position of the Asia-Pacific region in the world, Japan's position within it, the importance of human resource development, and the dreams of young people, through the thoughts and visions of those who are active at the forefront of the global economy, in an age when accelerating globalization and increasing interdependence also bring to light various conflicts and challenges.
