Akemashite Omedeto Gozaimasu, Happy New Year!
My name is Naohiro Tsutsumi, Deputy Chief of Mission, Minister, Embassy of Japan. On the 19 December, I was assigned additional duty of Acting Director of JCC. I am indeed grateful to have the unwavering support of Singaporeans, Japanese as well as other people residing in Singapore, and we will make every effort to uphold our friendly ties. I appreciate your continuous encouragement to JCC and am looking forward to seeing you! In the past year of the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Japan and Singapore, better known as SJ50, we have had 214 memorable celebrations including the SJ50 highlight, SJ50 Matsuri at Orchard Road in October. For the last month of the SJ50 year, we held a book launch for ‘The Merlion And Mt. Fuji: 50 Years of Singapore-Japan Relations’ by Singaporean Dr Lim Tai Wei, a joint film screening of ‘Kubo and the Two Strings’ with the U.S. Embassy in Singapore and Shaw Theatres as well as a prefectural promotion of Mie prefecture – Experience Enchanting Mie. In addition, a pivotal meeting took place from November to December 2016, when H.E. Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam visited Japan and met with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, further fostering our two peoples’ friendship and cooperation in the future. Certainly 2017 is the first step towards SJ100, and we are thrilled to gradually share our upcoming efforts with you on our social media platforms. Kick-starting the new year is our “Singapore Style × Ishikawa Traditional Craft Collaborative Product Exhibition” and a talk of contemporary art by Ms Naoko Tosa, please join us for that!
