The Victorian Sister City Forum in Melbourne

On Wednesday 18 July, the Victorian Sister City Forum, organised by Sister Cities Australia (SCA), was held at Parliament House of Victoria. The CLAIR Sydney Director and an assistant director attended the event at the SCA’s kind invitation.

In this event, we talked about exchange activities with people who work to support many sister city relationships between Australia and Japan. Over 100 delegates attended this event and various presentation was made. We also ran a booth to promote a range of tourism destinations in Japan. It was a great opportunity for us and we’d like to extend our thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful event.

We will continue to actively support and cherish the sister city relationships between Australia and Japanese local governments.

If your council or state is looking to establish a new sister city relationship with Japan, CLAIR Sydney can help! Please email us at mailbox@jlgc.org.au.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
