Supporting Activity for Shibetsu City

Posted on by admin

On 15 November, Mr MAKINO Yuji, Mayor of Shibetsu City in Hokkaido Prefecture and representatives from Shibetsu visited the CLAIR Sydney office.

Before visiting the CLAIR Sydney office, Mayor Makino and the Shibetsu representatives visited their sister city, Goulburn in New South Wales. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Goulburn and Shibetsu. The Mayor of Shibetsu presented an engraved stone that commemorates the 20th anniversary of the sister city relationship to Goulburn Mulwaree Council, and it was placed in Victoria Park, Goulburn, where a Japanese garden is being built. A reception to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the relationship was also held. In recent years, very vibrant exchanges have been conducted between the two cities.

At the meeting at the CLAIR Sydney office, a CLAIR Sydney staff member presented to the Shibetsu delegation on Australian politics, economy and society. Discussions were also held on potential activities to accelerate the sister city relationship between Shibetsu and Goulburn, such as the exchange of municipal staff between the two cities.

CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the sister city exchange conducted by Goulburn and Shibetsu.
