Inaugural Meeting of the Cambodia Branch

The inaugural meeting of the Cambodia Branch of the Nagoya University Alumni Association was held on Friday, September 5, 2008, at the Intercontinental Hotel in the capital of Phnom Penh. The meeting was held to coincide with the opening of the Research and Education Center for Japanese Law at Cambodia's Royal University of Law and Economics.

At the inaugural meeting, Nagoya University President Shin'ichi Hirano gave a speech expressing his hope that this new branch of NUAL, following in the footsteps of the other six overseas branches, would become a focus for Nagoya University international exchange. Next, NUAL Executive Coordinator Yoshito Itoh conveyed President Shoichiro Toyoda's happiness at the founding of this branch, and gave an account of NUAL's establishment and principles. In total, about 45 people attended. These included around 20 alumni from Cambodia, and, from Nagoya University, representatives of the new Law Center, Hirano, Itoh, Haruo Saburi, Dean of the Graduate School of Law Kazutaka Sugiura, Center for Asian Legal Exchange Director Masanori Aikyo, and Chairman of NUAL Cooperation Committee Tomio Nakano. Afterwards, Hirano presented the Alumni Association Branch certificate and official banner to the branch chairman, Professor Hor Peng. The chairman then gave a speech stating his intention to stand by the principles of NUAL by sharing information from the University and NUAL and contributing to University promotion and international exchanges.

After the meeting, a commemorative photograph was taken of Hirano and Hor surrounded by the alumni with the official banner. A pleasant party followed to celebrate both the founding of the Branch and that of the Research and Education Center for Japanese Law.
