Ehime Prefecture Visited CLAIR Sydney

On 15 October, Mr FUJIWARA Eiji, Mr TANINAKA Kota, and Mr SHIGEOKA Naoki from the Ehime Prefectural Government visited the CLAIR Sydney office. The Ehime Prefectural Government has an economic exchange agreement with the New South Wales Government. Up until now, Ehime Prefecture had mainly been exporting processed food, but they will now also focus on exporting traditional crafts from the prefecture, such as Imabari Towel, the nationally known towels produced in Imabari City; Tobe Pottery, porcelains produced in the town of Tobe; and Kikuma roof tile, roof tiles produced in the Kikuma district. Apart from this, the Ehime Prefectural Government has also been promoting ‘Cycling Shimanami’, an international cycling event that takes place along the Setouchi Shimanami Kaido, which is an expressway that connects Ehime Prefecture to Honshu, the main island of Japan.

In the meeting, CLAIR Sydney staff provided the Ehime Prefectural Government staff with information on examples of exchange activities conducted by local governments in Japan, and discussed various related topics.

CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments in their promotion of local products in Australia and New Zealand.
