Let’s Build a Japan We Can Proudly Present to the World

Until now, global disability policy discourse and information have often been shaped and concentrated in traditional international hubs—primarily in Europe and North America—where many international disability organizations have long been based.

In Japan, however, our approaches and perspectives on disability have been formed through our unique history, social context, and lived experience. We believe Japan has both the potential and the responsibility to contribute as a new global hub—bringing practical, rights-based solutions and lessons that can be shared across regions.

To realize and expand this potential, partnership is essential. With broad support and collaboration, we will grow our work and strengthen cross-border cooperation. As a foundation for this vision, we are taking a new step by establishing our international headquarters here in Japan.

We will also expand this conference in stages—building a wider network of allies and deepening collaboration.

This conference is a first step toward integrating and advancing cooperation across policy, economy, culture, education, and community action. Through these efforts, we aim to develop a global model of full inclusion and help lead the world toward a society where no one is left behind.
