[Director General Column] Thank you very much for hosting the meeting. (July 11, 2023)

　On June 30, the Minami Ward district round-table conference ended in all regions.
　A total of 518 people from the community participated in all 16 districts. Thank you very much to all the people involved.
　As the COVID-19 pandemic has calmed down, group discussions were held in 12 out of 16 districts. In addition, since this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake, there were six districts that featured the theme of disaster prevention.
　I also participated in all the meetings, and although the issues differ from region to region, I felt the desire to regain the connections that had become thinner due to the COVID-19 pandemic and create a livable city. Events that had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic have also been gradually resumed. The ward office will also work with local residents to restore connections and liveliness.
