Asian Leadership Forum

The Asian Leadership Forum (ALF) is a platform for policy leaders in the Asia Pacific region to discuss important issues in Public Administration. This is a venue where ministers, vice-ministers, parliamentarians, governors, city mayors, etc. can share their respective views in the field. Dr. Akira Nakamura, who was Professor at the Meiji University and a long-time member of EROPA, is the brain for the institutionalization of this activity.

The First Asian Leadership Forum, which focused on the theme “The Need for Leadership Development,” was held in Kathmandu, Nepal coinciding with the EROPA Seminar. Speakers in the first ALF were Mr. Hitoshi Kimura, former member of the House of Councillors of Japan, Dr. Francisco Duque III, Chairman of the Philippine Civil Service Commission, Dr. Jiang Wu, President of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science, and Dr. Yuba Raj Khatiwada, Governor of the Nepal Rastra Bank.

This year’s theme for the Asian Leadership Forum is “Dealing with Fiscal Retrenchment: Strategies, Innovations and Ways Forward.” Watch out for the Second Asian Leadership Forum which will happen in Bangkok!

See you there!
