Remembering 9/11

The terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001 transformed world affairs and irrevocably altered America's relationship with at least two Asian nations — Afghanistan and Pakistan. Since then, Asia Society has used its unique position as a bridge between Asia and the United States to present a wide array of programming, opinion and analysis related to 9/11 and its fallout. The content listed below (in reverse chronological order) presents a worldwide spectrum of responses to the attacks and their aftermath.
