The Embassy wishes Mr. Tamio well on his future endeavors.
The Embassy also welcomes Mr. Tamio’s successor, Mr. Junnosuke Iwano, Director of the Pacific and Southeast Asia Department at JICA. We look forward to working together in continuing and new projects both in the FSM and Japan to better enhance the development and relationship of our nations. We look to the support of the involved JICA officers and staff who continue to support the Pacific, especially the FSM.
