Many suggestions for future collaborations were also presented during the meeting as well, and Ms Ito has emphasised that JCC will continue to showcase the two nations’ interactions and exchanges of ideas, arts and culture. It will serve as a symbol of the well-established Japan-Singapore friendship for the past 50 years, and continue to nurture people-to-people exchanges among the future generations between the two countries and beyond the region.
