Currently, the Ministry of Justice, in cooperation with other institutions, is proceeding with the project. Besides national institutions such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and JICA, the Ministry of Justice also with in cooperation with the Foundation for Asian Crime and Politics with relation to the criminal justice field, and in civil and commercial matters, it works with the International Civil and Commercial Law Center Foundation. Additionally, it cooperates with academic nstitutions such as the Kansai Asian Civil and Commercial Law Society and the Law Asia, a society for attorneys within Asian-Pacific region, well as various NGOs.

For this project, we would like to have input from as many private sector organizations as possible. Legal technical assistance is, in other words, intellectual support. We would hope to take an advice not only from bureaucrats but university professors, attorneys and in-house legal professionals.
Initially when we speak of legal technical assistance, it is a request made by one state to another state since it commences with constructing a legal framework for the state. Thus, it is more likely that the project will be run by bureaucrats from both sides. However, at the point when it comes to the operation of a legal framework and rooting it deeply into the society, we need the assistance from the private sector.
For instance, when it come to development of human resources for the recipient country, we need to provide assistance to education. In order to achieve this, we not only need to support the courts and the public prosecutor system but also universities in educating future legal professionals. So we need the cooperation of the academic world; it is a necessary component of this assistance. To meet the broadest range of needs, we need cooperation from everyone.

In response, both financial and political circles have begun to realize the necessity of constructing a legal framework for Asia. In June of last year, according to the LDP's Judicial System Special Board of Inquiry "to cope with globalization, we need to construct a judicial system which can contribute to the international society." Moreover, Keidanren's 21st Century Research Study Group has taken up legal technical assistance as their current research topic.
Furthermore, the Council on the Economy report indicated the importance of intellectual assistance.
