Ambassador Fatimie expressed sincerest gratitude to Ms. Himei, on behalf of the people and Government of Afghanistan, for the generous and life-bettering support that Japan has provided through the leadership and facilitation of its noble Diet.

As the nations established official diplomatic ties 82 years ago, Ambassador Fatimie conveyed that the relations between the two governments is vital and should be even-further strengthened. The Hon. Councillor kindly reciprocated the sentiments, adding that she is hopeful and supportive of a successful outcome in the upcoming Tokyo Conference on Afghanistan.
