First Message from H.E. Mr. ISHIZUKA Hideki, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Georgia.
2023/6/16
Dear readers,
My name is ISHIZUKA Hideki. Today I have just arrived at Georgia and this is my first message for you.
The assumption of this post is my first visit to Georgia and when I was warmly welcomed at the airport, I realized why so many travelers choose Georgia for their destination.
I flew from Tokyo to Georgia through the route crossing the Eurasian continent. During my reading in flight, I was inspired by the eternal history of Caucasus as a crossroad of three regions: Asia, Middle East and Europe. My wish is to do my best to promote cooperation of people from both side to add new narrative to the history of friendship between Japan and Georgia. It would be a great pleasure for me to get your kind support for that end.
I am sure that the Embassy has important mission to support duly Japanese citizens and companies in Georgia, including consular services, and to issue visas for Georgian citizens as the gateway for international exchange as well as promoting bilateral relations as the representative of Japan.
As you know, Georgia has recovered from the damage of COVID-19 pandemic and has achieved high rate of economic growth for two consecutive years. The transport corridor connecting Central Asia and Black See is attracting more attention from the international society. In addition Georgian food culture including wine, art and culture have become more popular in Japan.
From 2022 to 2023 on the occasion of 30-year anniversary of diplomatic relations, various events were held and high-level visit has reactivated. Thanks to the cooperation from all stake-holders, interest in Japanese culture has further grown in Georgia and friendly relations between both countries and mutual understanding have much strengthened.
It is very delightful for me to be appointed as the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Georgia at this period of time. I will not spare any effort to fulfill my duties, step by step, for the further enhancement of bilateral relations of both countries. I wish for your kind support and cooperation.
