October 13, 2011: Ambassador Dr. Sayed M. Amin
Fatimie attended an event hosted by Their Majesties the Emperor and
Empress at the Akasaka Imperial Gardens. The annual event allows the
diplomatic community in Japan and other key figures to further deepen
ties with Their Majesties. In the case of Afghanistan, as Their
Majesties have previously visited the nation, are very informed of the
developments, and have a special affinity for the nation, these outings
are of particular importance.

Ambassador Fatimie was able to interact with a number of key people
at the event including H.E. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and former
prime ministers Hon. Councillor Naoto Kan and Hon. Councillor Yukio
Hatoyama, extending to each his deepest gratitude, on behalf of the
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, for Japan’s selfless and generous
support to Afghanistan and their personal roles within. Hon. Mr.
Hatoyama in particular spoke of his relief that H.E. President Hamid
Karzai is alright following an unsuccessful plot by enemies of peace,
with the former prime minister also mentioning his respect for H.E.
President Karzai.
