Support Activities for Fukuoka Prefecture: Visit to New South Wales by the Fukuoka Delegation (4-7 Aug)

Posted on by Mariko
From 3 to 8 August, Fukuoka Prefectural Government delegation including the Governor of the Fukuoka Prefecture and the Chairman of Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly visited New South Wales.
Fukuoka Prefecture is working closely with the New South Wales Government, which includes Sydney, the economic and cultural centre of Australia in fields such as hydrogen industry, sports, and tourism.
The delegation participated in the Cowra Breakout 80th anniversary commemoration ceremony and laid wreaths at the Australian and Japanese War Cemeteries in Cowra to honor the victims of the Cowra Breakout.
Additionally, the delegation held discussions with NSW Government ministers, exchanged views with officials in NSW and the Sydney Fukuoka Kenjin Kai, hosted tourism and educational travel seminars, visited the Central Sydney Intensive English High School established by the NSW Government, and toured related facilities in Newcastle, NSW’s hydrogen hub.
CLAIR Sydney provided support such as pre-arrangements and accompanied the visit. We will continue to support the cooperation between Fukuoka and NSW so that it will progress further in the future.

  • 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.
