March 24, 2011: Ambassador Dr. Sayed M. Amin Fatimie
Mr. S. A. Razaq Luqman, First Secretary and Political attache, and Mr.
Bahadir Kargar, Third Secretary and Consul, attended a series of two
briefings at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo.
The first briefing focuses on the recent developments concerning the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. A number of officials related to
the issue spoke, providing detailed information about the work being
done to cool the reactors and stop the spread of radiation. While
weather conditions have caused fluctuations in the levels of radiation
in the surrounding areas, the officials showed that overall radiation
levels continue to decrease and will continue to decrease more, while
also reminding that the radiation levels of water, food, and the
environment are safe unless otherwise notified.
The second briefing focused on missing foreign nationals in Japan.
The briefing was given by the National Police Agency. No Afghans are
known to be missing.
Ambassador Fatimie had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Shutaro
Omura, Principal Deputy Chief of Protocol from the Minister of Foreign
Affair’s Secretariat. Ambassador Fatimie expressed his deepest
condolences over the massive loss of life and the damage caused by the
tragedy of March 11th’s earthquake and subsequent typhoon. The
Ambassador assured of the Afghan Government and people’s continuing
dedication to support their Japanese brothers and sisters through this
difficult time, and expressed the resolve of the Embassy to remain open
and functioning in Tokyo barring any directive from the Japanese
government. Mr. Omura expressed his gratitude of behalf of Japan, and
discussed the close and friendly relations of the two nations.
