On August 14, 2025, Mr. Takeshi Watanabe, new JICA Resident Representative, and Mr. Kunihiro Yamauchi, former JICA Resident Representative departing the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), paid a courtesy call on Ambassador Kagomiya. Mr. Yamauchi assumed his post as Resident Representative in May 2023 and has dedicated the past two years to a wide range of activities. Mr. Watanabe has assumed his post as the new JICA Resident Representative, after working in a Pacific Island nation of the Solomon Islands.
This was a very meaningful opportunity to exchange information on the progress and efforts of each project, as well as to exchange opinions on future collaboration and information within the FSM.
The Ambassador expressed his gratitude to Mr. Yamauchi for his contributions and expressed his expectations for future activities under the leadership of Mr. Watanabe, who has experience working in an island nation.
