Support activities for Okayama

Governor of Okayama Prefecture, Mr. Ryuta Ibaragi; and Okayama Prefectural Government staff visited South Australia on May 1 and 2. It was the 25th anniversary of the Sister State relationship between Okayama Prefecture and South Australia which was established in 1993. The Governor of Okayama met the Premier and the Governor of South Australia, and discussed further collaboration opportunities. The 25th anniversary reception was held in Adelaide and was hosted by the Deputy Premier of South Australia, the Honourable Vickie Chapman MP.

Also, On May 4, the delegation from Okayama visited the CLAIR Sydney office. Director of JETRO Sydney, Mr. Hiroyuki Nakazato; Director of JNTO Sydney, Ms. Kana Wakabayashi; and our Director, Mr. Katsunori Kamibo; all made presentations on various topics about Australia, after which the delegation held a lively discussion and exchanged ideas about their visit.

We hope this visit will be a catalyst for a stronger relationship and we will continuously support Okayama Prefecture’s activities in Australia.

  • 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.
