The Flare Monitoring Telescope (FMT) was constructed in 1992 at the Hida Observatory in Japan to investigate the long-term variation of solar activity and explosive events. It has been part of the international coordinated observations program (STEP) since 1991. The FMT consists of five solar imaging telescopes and one guidescope. The five telescopes simultaneously observe the full-disk Sun at different wavelengths around H-alpha absorption line or in different modes. Therefore, the FMT can measure the vector velocity field of moving structures on the full solar disk without the visual effect. We want to monitor solar flares and erupting filaments continuously as much as possible by using several of such characteristic telescopes. We are then planning to execute the "Continuous H-alpha Imaging Network (CHAIN)-project". As part of this project, we are examining the possibility of installing the telescopes in developing countries with acquiring the necessary funds from the United Nations. More precisely, we are currently examining Peru as a candidate country where a telescope will be installed. Moreover, there are a lot of items that should be investigated in various respects in advance, such as the natural environment, the human environment and the method of clerical work procedure, etc. In this talk, we introduce characteristics of the FMT, some scientific results and our plans of installing the FMT in Peru.
