<p>Thanks to everyone's help, "Global Community" has successfully completed its 14th year, with a focus on promoting interactions between Japanese and foreign residents in Japan.</p>

<p>Moving forward, we will continue to share information in fields like health, medicine, environment, and intercultural exchanges, which transcend ethnic boundaries.</p>

<p>We will always keep our original mission in mind and continue our efforts diligently. We kindly ask for your continued support next year as well.</p>

<p>As the situation with COVID-19 stabilizes and the entry of international students begins, we aim to be more active and energetic in our activities.</p>
