18.01.2022 Consul-General Mr TANAKA joined The Honourable Mark Furner MP, Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries, and Dr Elizabeth Woods, Director-General of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, in participating in a virtual trade mission to Japan. The first of its kind, the mission served to re-affirm the strong agricultural and trade relationship between Queensland and Japan, and support Queensland agri-food producers and exporters. The mission included a...n Iron Chef style cook-off between the Consul-General and Minister Furner featuring winter harvest Queensland produce, and a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new Retractable Roof Greenhouse at the QLD government’s Ayr Research Facility. It was a great opportunity to celebrate locally grown food and learn more about the research and development being conducted by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries in partnership with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Although the pandemic has impacted the ability to travel between Japan and Australia, we are pleased to be able to support the Queensland-Japan relationship through new avenues such as this.

04.01.2022 On Sunday 25 October, Consul General TANAKA and Consul HAYAKAWA attended a service at the Queensland Maritime Museum to commemorate the 75 year anniversary of the end of World War II. This commemoration, which had been postponed from the original VP date of August 15 due to COVID-19, was conducted aboard the HMAS Diamantina, one of only two remaining ships in the world where surrender signings between Japan and the allied forces in the pacific were held. They were invited t...o join this ceremony on the ship’s quarterdeck where the historical signings took place at Nauru and Ocean Island 75 years ago. The Consul General spoke on reconciliation before laying a wreath. He emphasized the importance of remembering and honouring those lives lost while appreciating how far the Australia-Japan relationship has come. In this new chapter in history, our relationship has developed into one of peace and prosperity which is now recognised as a so-called special strategic partnership. We were honoured to be a part of this service held by the Queensland Maritime Museum, which has played an important role in commemorating history through events such as these, and through the preservation of the HMAS Diamantina. You can watch the ceremony online on the Queensland Maritime Museum Youtube page here: https://youtu.be/TVFD9KO2C8c
