Message from Ambassador Iwai
2024/11/12
My name is IWAI Fumio. This is my third time in Egypt, including my language training period, and I am deeply honored to return as Ambassador to this memorable country, where my daughter was born during my second stay.
Last year, Prime Minister Kishida and President El-Sisi agreed to elevate Egypt-Japan relations to a "strategic partnership." Building on the long-standing friendship between our two countries, this partnership has been becoming increasingly vital for peace and stability in the Middle East and Africa.
Egypt holds a special place in our hearts. I will work diligently to strengthen the cooperative relations between Egypt and Japan in all areas, including politics, economics, society, and culture. As the successor to Ambassador Oka, I look forward to collaborating with my Egyptian friends and colleagues, as well as with all Japanese nationals working in Egypt, to achieve this common goal.
I also look forward to enjoying life in Egypt, experiencing the country's rich history and magnificent natural beauty, and working with you all. Thank you.
