We were invited to the opening ceremony of a photo exhibition introducing "Arab Now" taken by a Japanese diplomat stationed in Arab. This photo exhibition was held for the first time in response to the inspiration from the "Nippon-Ambassadors' Eyes" photo exhibition (*), which is also held in Yokohama every year.
At the ceremony, we had a talk with ambassadors from the Middle East and African countries.
The 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) will be held in Yokohama, and we will continue to deepen our ties with people in the Middle East and African countries.
