The second EU-Japan-Asia Journalists Conference followed the successful formula of the previous year, where ASEF's involvement brought forth the expansion of the annual EU-Japan Journalists' Conference to include journalists from other parts of Asia within the ASEM membership. Forty-eight journalists -- 22 from Europe, 14 from Japan, and 12 from the other Asian member countries -- were invited to the conference. In line with the theme of the Aichi World Expo ("Nature's Wisdom"), the conference was held on the theme "The Greening Of International Co-operation."
