The Ministry promotes scientific cooperation with developing
countries, in accordance with the report of the Science Council entitled "Promotion
of Scientific Exchange with Developing Countries" submitted to the Minister in

for ASEAN members, which include exchange under the Core University System and
assistance for foreign students who are Ph.D. candidates at Japanese universities.
These programs are effective in both enhancing the research level and training
of researchers in those counterpart nations.
