Dr. Graham Mayeda of OJCA-OJCC is visiting 🇯🇵 under the MOFA Invitation Program, and he met with Mr. Kiyoto Tsuji, Senior Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. Through his visit to 🇯🇵, he will deepen understanding of 🇯🇵 & play a more active role as a bridge between 🇯🇵 and 🇨🇦!

With Dr. Art Miki in Winnipeg. Dr. Miki shared with me the journey to the historical 1988 Redress Agreement, signed by PM Mulroney & Dr. Miki. The journey is full of human dramas with blood in their veins. Thank you Dr. Miki, you're a source of inspiration to all! -Amb Yamanouchi
