Thank you very much for your continued support.
Thanks to everyone, the "Global Community" has successfully completed its 14th year, focusing on the theme of interaction between Japanese and foreign residents.
Moving forward, we will continue to address cross-cultural issues related to health, medicine, and the environment, and promote cultural exchange.
We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to another successful year ahead.
As the situation with COVID-19 settles down and international students begin to arrive, we are eager to ramp up our activities.
