To welcome JET returnees back home, JET Homecoming Gala was held on 1 February 2023 at the Japanese Association Singapore. Ambassador of Japan to Singapore His Excellency Hiroshi Ishikawa, in his opening speech, shared how Singaporean JET participants demonstrate high adaptability skills in their new working and living environments, and that JET participants play a vital role in people-to-people exchanges, which bring Singapore and Japan closer to each other. It was then followed by a toast by Executive Director of J.CLAIR Singapore, Mr Taisuke Sakurai.
