In 2022, Japan continued to have high level of Covid-19 infections, making it difficult for the AFE-ADB Japan Chapter to have any face-to-face activity involving many people. Given the recent stabilization of Covid-19 contagion, we expect to have a Chapter gathering later this year. Some of the groups formed around former Presidents are starting to resume their gatherings. The Japan Chapter maintained its practice of not seeking any subsidy from AFE-ADB.
