Tokyo Photo Gallery

On May 12, a meeting between the Russian and Japanese governors to exchange views, organized by the National Governors’ Association, was held to restart the Russia-Japan Governors’ Assembly, which had been on hiatus for 10 years. Nine governors from Japan and eight from Russia participated. At the meeting Governor Ishihara requested cooperation toward the TOKYO 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games bid activities and promoted the fact that Tokyo possesses the most advanced technology in the world in areas such as tap-water and the technological prowess of small and medium-sized businesses. The next session will be held in Moscow next year.
