2014 HACGAM held in Yokohama Japan. Coast guard heads and representatives from 18 countries and districts attended.

The foundation collaborated with the Japan Coast Guard in 2000 to co-host the Regional Conference on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships, which led to the first Heads of Asian Coast Guard Agencies Meeting in 2004. Since this first meeting, HACGAM has been held almost every year.

Seeing the need to tackle growing ocean issues at a global level, The Nippon Foundation and the Japan Coast Guard held the first Coast Guard Global Summit (CGGS) in 2017, where participants explored emerging roles of coast guards and opportunities for new partnerships. Since then, the foundation has co-hosted the 1st CGGS-Working Level Meeting (WLM) in 2018, the 2nd CGGS in 2019, the 2nd CGGS- WLM in 2021, the Online Symposium in 2022 and the 3rd CGGS in 2023.
