SCNZ Central New Zealand Regional Forum

Posted on by admin

On 13 Feb, the Central New Zealand Regional Forum hosted by Sister Cities New Zealand (SCNZ) was held in Wellington, New Zealand. Representatives from local governments, sister city committees and more were in attendance.

At the Forum, there were information given out about the upcoming Sister Cities Conference 2020, to be held in Ashburton, and discussions on a wide range of topics such as the role of SCNZ in future.

CLAIR Sydney gave a presentation on CLAIR’s activities, as well as upcoming large-scale international sporting events, such as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics and the World Masters Games 2021 Kansai in Japan, and what these events mean from the perspective of sister city relationships between New Zealand and Japan.

We will continue to support the exchange between Japan and New Zealand by collaborating with Sister Cities New Zealand.

  • From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.

    During the joint training, the athletes deepened their connections, and in the competition, the Fukuoka swimmers achieved remarkable success, earning numerous medals.
     
    The visit is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2023 between the Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Swimming Association, and Swimming NSW. CLAIR Sydney received a request from Fukuoka Prefecture to assist them with their activities and accompanied them during some parts of their visit.
     
    We will continue to support and deepen exchanges in the field of sports between Fukuoka Prefecture and NSW.
    To all the athletes, coaches, and accompanying staffs, Otsukaresamadeshita!

  • 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.
