The 63rd Convention of Nikkei and Japanese Abroad
“Making Great Strides for the Nikkei Community, A New Generation of Initiatives”

The object of holding the convention is to furnish opportunities for the Japanese descendants all over the world to discuss challenges of Nikkei community, ways of cooperation between Nikkei communities themselves or with Japan, and deepen mutual understanding among each other.
It is cordially requested that as many Nikkeis and Japanese Abroad as possible will attend this convention. We also welcome non- descendants who have a great interest in Nikkeis and Nikkei communities and are active members of Nikkei organizations.

※About the theme of “Making Great Strides for the Nikkei Community, A New Generation of Initiatives”.
In past Conventions of Nikkei and Japanese Abroad, the term “日系社会 (Nikkei communities)” has been used in Chinese characters (KANJI). However, non-descendants have become important members of Nikkei organizations in many parts of the world. In order to express this situation, we have decided to use the KATAKANA term “ニッケイ 社会（Nikkei communities）” in this year’s Convention.
