The 52nd Policy Plenary Meeting

The Definition of an East Asian Community

The Council on East Asian Community (CEAC) is an organization designed not to promote, but to study the concept of an East Asian Community. This means that CEAC is not presumptive of any specified definition of an East Asian Community. There being various views on the geographical scope of East Asia and the concrete type of Community, CEAC aims to study the implication of each of those views and to pursue what the strategic response of Japan should be.
