On August 18, Dr. Ritter Díaz, Representative Director of the Japan Association for the Promotion of Latin America and the Caribbean (JAPOLAC), held a meeting with Her Excellency Sandy Dávila Sandoval, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Nicaragua to Japan.
During the meeting, Dr. Díaz expressed his appreciation to Ambassador Dávila for the Embassy of Nicaragua in Japan joining JAPOLAC as an Honorary Member, noting that its membership contributes to strengthening the Association’s ties with the diplomatic missions of Latin America and the Caribbean accredited to Japan.
Ambassador Dávila, for her part, expressed her appreciation for JAPOLAC’s support in coordinating a lecture on Nicaragua at Chiba University in May of this year, an initiative that provided university students with an opportunity to gain a closer understanding of the country and helped promote greater awareness of Nicaragua in Japan.
The Ambassador also expressed her appreciation for the reports prepared by JAPOLAC on Japan’s political, economic, social, and international situation, highlighting their usefulness as a source of information for understanding and monitoring the country’s main developments and trends.
Dr. Díaz noted that the participation of embassies as Honorary Members is an important component of JAPOLAC’s mission to serve as a practical platform connecting Japan with the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, promoting information exchange, education, culture, and trade facilitation.
He also reiterated JAPOLAC’s readiness to continue supporting the Embassy of Nicaragua’s activities aimed at raising awareness of Central America in Japan and strengthening exchanges between Nicaragua and Japan.
The incorporation of the Embassy of Nicaragua as an Honorary Member represents another step in strengthening JAPOLAC’s institutional network. It reaffirms the Association’s commitment to working closely with Latin American and Caribbean diplomatic missions accredited to Japan to promote initiatives that foster closer ties and mutual benefit between Japan and the region.
