Kagoshima City-Perth City 50th Anniversary Sister City Celebration (Perth)

On 22 July, a ceremony was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Kagoshima City in Kagoshima Prefecture and Perth City in WA. The two cities began exchanges due to their shared latitude of 32 degrees and established a sister city relationship on 23 April, 1974. Over the past 50 years, the cities have continued educational and cultural exchanges.

During the ceremony, participants acknowledged the significance of the sister city relations in areas such as education and business exchanges and pledged to work towards further enhancing the future relations, aiming for the advancement of both cities.

Also, on 26 July, Mayor Takao Shimozuru of Kagoshima City, Chairperson Keiji Kawagoe of the Kagoshima City Council, and other members of the Kagoshima City delegation visited the CLAIR Sydney. We gave a presentation on an overview of Australia and urban development in Sydney, leading to a lively exchange of opinions on various Australian policies and the characteristics of local governments.

We remain committed to supporting and promoting the sister city exchanges between Kagoshima City and Perth City in the future.

  • 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.
