The objective of the new association is to foster the study and research in Spain on societies and cultures of East Asia (principally China, Japan and Korea), as well as disseminate knowledge in this area among Spanish society. It will work on the organisation of research initiatives and activities and meetings, such as the Spanish Forum on Pacific Asian Research (FEIAP), whose next edition will take place in Malaga in 2018. The association also aims to prepare specialised publications and audiovisual materials on East Asia.
This will be the association's first presentation and more will follow in Madrid (26 April), Granada, Malaga and Seville. The association is very active on social networks such as Twitter (@esAsiaOriental) and Facebook (esAsiaOriental).
