On 26 October, the delegation from the Tochigi Prefectural Assembly for overseas administrative research, led by Masao Kotoyori, visited the CLAIR Sydney office.
The delegation visited Australia this time to research Australia’s advanced efforts in areas such as infrastructure development for multicultural coexistence that should be addressed in Tochigi Prefectural government’s future policies. This investigation will be utilised to improve the prefectural assembly operations and policy formulation capabilities.
CLAIR Sydney provided them with a briefing and Q&A session on the administration, political and economic overview of Australia and Australia’s multiculturalism policies.
Especially in regard to the multiculturalism policies, we provided explanations based on our past research and our staff’s first-hand experiences living in Australia, we received a multitude of questions from various perspectives.
CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the overseas activities of Japanese local governments investigating the latest developments in Australia.
