CIESC would like to congratulate and welcome Professor Naoharu Fujita as the new president of the Japanese Association of Canadian Studies (JACS). Pr. Naoharu Fujita succeeded Professor Hiroaki Kato (2002-2006) whose term was successful in fostering Canada-Japan relations. The JACS publishes the Annual Japanese Association of Canadian Education Studies and has just started a three-year project on 'Canadian Education and the issues of human rights'. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Professor Naoharu Fujita a successful term.

As a result of these efforts, comparativists have become better organised and identified, and more effective in viewing problems and applying skills from different perspectives. It is anticipated that we can advance education for international understanding in the interests of peace, intercultural cooperation, observance of human rights and mutual respect among peoples
