Support Activities for Oshu City in Iwate Prefecture(6 Nov)

On 6 November, Mayor Jun Kuranari and City Council Chairman Yoshikazu Sugawara of Oshu City in Iwate Prefecture visited the CLAIR Sydney office.
 
They visited Australia this time not only for an official visit to their sister city, Greater Shepparton City in the state of Victoria, but also to conduct market research on agricultural products in Australia and visit import and wholesale companies to explore sales opportunities for Oshu City’s specialty products.
 
CLAIR Sydney provided them with a briefing and Q&A session on the administration, political and economic overview of Australia.
They were particularly enthusiastic about the explanation of differences between Japan and Australia, such as the voices coming from Australian local governments seeking economic benefits from their sister cities. On this occasion of the sister city visit by Oshu City members, we discussed together how to resume exchanges with a school located in Greater Shepparton City.
 
CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the overseas activities of Japanese local governments engaged in sister city exchanges and market expansion.

  • 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.
