Here is the mission of Asia Society:

The Asia Society fosters insight, encourages engagement, elevates regional voices, informs and educates new audiences, addresses complex—and where necessary—contentious challenges, engages in creative problem-solving, and helps deliver real solutions for the benefit of all. As a global network of centers that share a common vision, we actively collaborate with our centers and partners across Asia and the world. The Asia Society also provides its members an opportunity to become part of our global network to help shape a prosperous, sustainable, and secure future for us all.
