A welcome reception for the delegation from Hiroshima Hawaii Emerging Young Business Leaders Program was held at the Consul-General’s residence on November 13th 2017.  The Program is a collaborative program which is initiated to commemorate the 20th anniversary of sister state relationship between Hiroshima Prefecture and the State of Hawaii.  Over thirty people including prefectural and state government officials, members of Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce and program participants from Hiroshima and Hawaii gathered and deepened our friendship.
 
From November 13 to 16 in Honolulu, the participants from Hiroshima and Hawaii attended various workshops including a leadership seminar with the aim of improving the mutual understanding of the differences in our cultures and business practices.  On the final day of the event, they got to know each other better through joining the outdoor survival training in the field.
 
In March 2018, the participants from Hawaii will visit Hiroshima Prefecture to attend a joint workshop.
