Reception Celebrating the Birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan in Sydney

On 11 Feb, a reception celebrating the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan was held at the Official Residence of the Consul-General of Japan in Sydney. This was the first reception to celebrate the birthday of his Majesty Emperor Naruhito after his accession to the throne, which marked the start of the Reiwa Era. There were more than 250 guests invited to the reception, which included various representatives from the NSW Government, Japanese government organisations, companies, and affiliated organisations.

CLAIR Sydney ran a booth at the reception to provide general information and tourist destination information on Japanese local governments that have a sister city relationship with local government areas in New South Wales and the Northern Territory, the two Australian states under the jurisdiction of the Consulate-General of Japan in Sydney. Many guests who visited our booth showed a keen interest learning about sister city exchanges between Australia and Japan, and some of them stopped by to find information on the local governments in Japan that have a sister city relationship with their local council area.

CLAIR Sydney will continue to support sister city exchanges between Australia/New Zealand and Japan.

  • 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.
