From purchasing, equipment to fight Sargassum Seaweed, to pumping millions into the country’s economy to assist in water and fisheries, the government of Japan has surely made its mark over the years
And today, as the country celebrates the establishment of diplomatic relations with the government of Antigua and Barbuda some forty years ago, Japan has stood the test of being a loyal friend to the twin island nation
Japan and Antigua and Barbuda established diplomatic relations on October 4th, 1982, forty years ago.
In recognition of this milestone, Akimoto Masatoshi the Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan visited Antigua and Barbuda, and Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Foreign Affairs Minister E.P Chet Green
