Other guests of honor included members of the Japanese parliament and the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.
At his opening remarks, the representative director, Ritter Diaz expressed his heartfelt gratitude to those who participated and supported this charity, despite the ongoing global pandemic: “Thanks to the support of the participants we will make a donation to the Hyogo Latin Community, which has been helping many Latin American and Caribbean people to integrate into Japanese society through Japanese language instruction and other welfare activities for over 20 years.”
We congratulate Mr. Diaz and JAPOLAC for this successful event, and we look forward to many more fruitful initiatives that supports their vision “to create the most valuable exchanges of ideas, virtues and best practices from both regions to improve the quality of life of Japanese and LAC people.”
