L'ICCROM continua a essere una presenza forte nella regione Asia-Pacifico, grazie a partenariati efficaci e di lunga data. La sua collaborazione continua con la Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) della Repubblica di Corea, ha permesso all'ICCROM di continuare a perseguire la cooperazione per l'istruzione, la formazione e la ricerca nella conservazione del patrimonio culturale della regione. Il risultato è stato che il programma CollAsia per la conservazione delle collezioni nel Sudest asiatico ha portato avanti nuove attività. L'ICCROM continua ad affrontare le esigenze di costruzione della capacità nella regione Asia-Pacifico, in tutti gli aspetti relativi alla conservazione del patrimonio, con l'obiettivo di promuovere il patrimonio per contribuire allo sviluppo sostenibile nella regione e in tutto il mondo.
Grazie alla sua stretta collaborazione e ai generosi finanziamenti e distaccamenti forniti dalle autorità giapponesi, l'ICCROM è in grado di proporre progetti di collaborazione basati sulla competenza giapponese in materia di retrofitting sismico e soluzioni di rinforzo, che proteggono la vita umana, preservando al contempo strutture storiche, nonché conoscenze olistiche e l'esperienza della carta giapponese, e le tecniche e gli approcci tradizionali di conservazione del paese.
