On Monday, 5 September, ICCROM Director-General Webber Ndoro had the honour of welcoming Tokuko Nabeshima, Counsellor at the Embassy of Japan in Rome, Italy. Also present on behalf of ICCROM was Hirofumi Ikawa, Project Manager and Japanese secondment.
The meeting was an opportunity to present ICCROM's activities and discuss continued collaboration in promoting cultural heritage with Japan, a Member State since 1967. We take this opportunity to thank the Government of Japan for its longstanding support of ICCROM through the provision of seconded staff since 2000 and the joint implementation of several of our most popular and iconic courses. We look forward to our continued cooperation as we work together to promote and protect the world's cultural and natural heritage.
