 It is a great pleasure for me to see that APU has been adopted into the MEXT Project for the Promotion of Global Human Resource Development. This adoption follows our selection last year into the 2011 Re-Inventing Japan Project. These results illustrate how highly regarded our achievements at APU over the last 12 years have been, and also the rich foundation and structure on which these achievements have been built. This success also fills me with a deep sense of expectation and responsibility at the task before us as the frontrunner in pushing tertiary education internationalization in our country to a higher level. On behalf of all APU faculty and staff, I reaffirm our commitment to the education of our students. 

 
More than a decade has passed since the start of the 21st century and we have seen enormous changes from the role tertiary education played in the 20th century – and the role that society expects it to play. We can no longer apply outdated methods of the past and our universities must take the initiative and create new value. One particular area of new value is the creation of knowledge and the nurturing of trailblazers for a new global age.
 
Through the Project for the Promotion of Global Human Resource Development, APU’s vision is to build on its achievements to date, integrate cutting-edge education systems from around the world, strengthen and bring to fruition all global human resource development projects underway at the University, and ultimately analyze and make available these initiatives so that the results of which can be shared and utilized by fellow institutions. As a member of the Global Five (G5) group, APU continues to build a successful track record in the field of global human resource development. I am confident that propagating our initiatives will lead to the globalization of human resource development in universities throughout Japan.
