TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nineteen Lao youths are scheduled to visit Japan from October 15th to 23rd as part of the Japan’s Friendship Ties Programs “JENESYS 2019” promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
The group will visit Tokyo and Hiroshima to have opportunities of international exchange under the theme of “Disaster Prevention and Environment”. In Tokyo, they will have a theme-related lecture, then visit garbage disposal facilities, eco-tourism village, and facilities for disaster prevention education. In Hiroshima, they will have a lecture at the Resilience Research Center, visit an affected area by the Torrential Rain in 2018 July and have a homestay in Hiroshima City. The program aims to deepen their understanding of Japanese initiatives on disaster prevention technologies and promote friendship between Japan and Laos.
We hope that participants in this program will proactively share the appeals of Japan and other information after returning to Laos.
