On August 21, 2025, Mr. Uchiyama, the representative of chuuk office, and Mr. Fukuyama of the Japan Mine Action Service (JMAS) paid a courtesy call on Ambassador Kagomiya. JMAS is implementing the Oil Leak Countermeasures Project for Sunken Warships in Chuuk State. This project aims to mitigate the risk of oil leakage by thoroughly assessing the current condition of Japanese warships sunken during the WWII that have corroded and deteriorated, efficiently and safely recovering the oil, and preventing adverse environmental impacts within Chuuk State's Truk Atoll.
During the meeting, the Ambassador received an interim progress report on the project of this year and exchanged information on challenges in advancing the project.
Ambassador noted the Federated States of Micronesia government's high expectations for this project, showed appreciation for the achievements so far, and stated that he hopes the project would continue to proceed while considering safety.
