About 1,000 members of the Japan Asia Africa Latin America Solidarity Committee (Japan AALA) on October 30 assembled in Tokyo to celebrate the 55th anniversary of its founding as well as the 55th anniversary of the Asia-Africa Conference (Bandung Conference).
Among distinguished guests, 24 ambassadors and diplomats from 22 nonaligned nation embassies took part in the assembly.
Fuwa Tetsuzo, director of the Social Sciences Institute of the Japanese Communist Party, spoke on the theme of developments of the 21st century from a historical perspective. He described changes and new challenges in the structural contours of the world brought about as a result of the collapse of colonialism.
After the lecture given by Fuwa, a 30-year-old woman said, “It seemed novel to me when he raised the topic of the coexistence between different social systems and different cultures.” A 19-year-old student said, “I learned much from his lecture, such as how to view the countries which are still on the path to establish socialism.”
Founded in 1955, the Japan AALA consists of about 4,000 individuals and 19 organizations with 2.8 million members, working to increase “mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of Japan and the three continents, establish a fair and democratic order of the world economy, and contribute to achieving world peace.”
