アジアの平和と繁栄を願って
アジア婦人友好会創設者
三木 睦子
日本はアジア諸国の人々と手を取り合って平和と繁栄を図って行くことが大切と考え、1968 年アジア婦人友好会を発足させました。アジア各国の皆様のご理解とご支援とを得て、お蔭様で会も年毎に充実して参りました。
また毎年４月に、宮妃殿下方のご臨席を賜り催します親善と募金のための「アジアの祭典・チャリティーバザー」は、皆様多数のご協力を得て盛大に行われており、それがアジア・大洋州諸国の福祉と災害援助に役立っていることは誠によろこばしいことです。
これからもこの地域の平和と繁栄を願って日々親善の輪を拡げて参りたいと存じます。

FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC
Foundress of ALFS
Mutsuko Miki
The Asia-Pacific Ladies Friendship Society (initially named the Asian Ladies Friendship Society) was established in 1968 with a firm belief that Japan needed to join hands with its neighboring countries to bring peace and prosperity within the Asia-Pacific region.
Through understanding and cooperation of our member countries, the organization has been able to make substantial progress year by year. I am particularly pleased that the proceeds raised at our “Asia-Pacific Festival & Charity Bazaar” (usually held in April each year with the gracious presence of Their Imperial Highnesses) have benefited many welfare programs and assisted in the recovery of natural disasters within our member countries.
These accomplishments are brought to fruition by our supporters and the attendees at the bazaar. I hope we will be able to expand our circle of friendship for further peace and prosperity around the globe.

ゆったりと、でも
止まることなく続く活動
アジア婦人友好会会長
高村 治子
1968年、三木睦子さんがアジア婦人友好会を設立され、現在アジア・大洋州25カ国の大使、大使夫人方を中心とする大きな輪に育っております。
日本はアジアに位置する以上、アジアの平和なくして日本の平和は無く、アジアの発展なくして日本の安定した未来は無いとの信念のもと、私は2004年、本会の会長をお引き受け致しました。
本会は親善と募金のための活動を通じて参加国間の相互交流をはかり、他国への思いを深めつつ、各国で助けを待つ子供や女性達の教育・福祉の支援、災害の援助等を行なっております。
「アジアの祭典・チャリティーバザー」は大使夫人方自らが陣頭指揮に立ち、会員全員参加のもと年々充実した行事となっております。
これからも私達はアジアと大洋州諸国の平和と繁栄のため、信頼の輪を広げ、たゆまぬ努力を続けてまいる所存でございます。
皆様方の暖かいご理解とご支援をお願い申し上げます。
SLOWLY BUT STEADILY
President
Haruko Komura
The Asia-Pacific Ladies Friendship Society (initially named the Asian Ladies Friendship Society) which was founded by Mrs. Mutsuko Miki has now grown to embrace 26 countries, not only from Asia but also from the Pacific region. I strongly believe that Japan located in Asia must work hand-in-hand with the Asia-Pacific nations in order to achieve a peaceful and prosperous future. And with this goal in mind, I succeeded Mrs. Miki in 2004 as the President of this Society.
We try to promote mutual friendship among member countries through goodwill and charitable activities, and, while deepening the understanding of other countries’ situations, do our best to provide necessary assistance towards betterment of education and welfare of women and children who are longing for our helping hands.
Each year women Ambassadors and spouses of Ambassadors of the member countries lead the role in preparing the “Asia-Pacific Festival & Charity Bazaar”, which has now become a very much awaited annual event in Tokyo.
We will continue to uphold our commitment with a tireless endeavor to deepen our mutual trust in order to work together for the peace and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to receiving your continued generous support which is so very important to us.
