The United Nations Information Center (UNIC) Tokyo, Japan, is based in Tokyo and serves as a communication arm of the United Nations. Established in April 1958, UNIC Tokyo has been operational for over 50 years, making it the only UNIC in Northeast Asia.[1]
The UNIC Tokyo, or the United Nations Information Centre in Tokyo, serves as a hub for disseminating information about the United Nations to the Japanese public. It facilitates communication between Japan and the UN, promotes awareness of UN activities, and supports cooperation between Japan and the global community on various issues such as peacekeeping, development, human rights, and environmental sustainability. The UNIC Tokyo also organizes events, workshops, and conferences on global challenges and the role of the UN in addressing them.[2]
