Due to current travel restrictions and the prevailing safety and health risks posed by COVID-19, the Cabinet Office of Japan has confirmed the postponement of the 47th Ship for Southeast and Japanese Youth Programme (SSEAYP). Government officials and alumni representatives from ASEAN member states were informed of the decision at a virtual meeting convened by the Cabinet Office of Japan on 22 June.
The organisers will conduct the SSEAYP Youth Conference 2021.
