Thank you very much for your continued support.
Thanks to all of you, “Global Community” has successfully entered its 16th year of publication, promoting interaction between Japanese people and foreign residents in Japan.
In the years ahead, we will keep focusing on cross-border themes such as health, medical care, environmental issues, and intercultural exchange. We remain committed to our founding spirit, continuing steady efforts with sincerity. We deeply appreciate your continued support this year as well.
The six-month Osaka-Kansai Expo has come to a close, and the 13th International Red-White Singing Festival held at the Expo venue on September 19 concluded with great success. We sincerely thank everyone who offered cooperation and support. Including the event preparations, I personally visited the Expo venue a total of 23 times.
Considering that many countries in the world are still facing wars or internal conflicts, I truly feel it was wonderful that the Osaka-Kansai Expo was able to end safely and peacefully.
