Myanmar Association of Japan Alumni (MAJA)

MAJA (Myanmar Association of Japan Alumni) was established on 10 December 2001, the National Day of the Union of Myanmar, with 49 founding members. Most of them were our patrons who studied in Japan during the Second World War years of 1943-1945.

Though official organization was not formed over the years before the establishment of MAJA, former Japan Alumni had been quite active, sending trainees to Japan and neighboring countries under Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS) program. MAJA was officially recognized by the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Union of Myanmar on 28 February, 2002.

Since then, the membership has increased and the content of activities has widened. In November 2009, MAJA hosted for the first time ASEAN Council of Japan Alumni (ASCOJA) Conference in Yangon, Myanmar. As of November 2023, there are approximately 6,000 MAJA members.
