The Asia Society is a 501(c)(3) organization that focuses on educating the world about Asia.[2] It has several centers in the United States (Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle) and around the world (Hong Kong, Manila, Seoul, Melbourne, Sydney, Tokyo,[3] Mumbai, Delhi,[4] Paris and Zurich). The Society's headquarters are in New York City, and includes a museum that exhibits pre-modern, modern, and contemporary art from Asia, Oceania and the Asian diaspora.[5] Asia Society also publishes an online magazine, ChinaFile.[6]

In January 2024, Kyung-wha Kang, who served as the first female Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, from 2017 to 2021, was named its president and CEO, effective in April 2024.[7] Asia Society has been described as a participant in the Chinese Communist Party's "backchannel" diplomatic efforts.[8]
