The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, in cooperation with organization related to the United Nations (UN), is running an outreach campaign entitled “Together with the UN” from this January to deepen the public understanding on various activities of the UN as well as the relationship between Japan and the UN. As part of this campaign, the “Together with the UN” e-bulletin (in Japanese) was launched today.
This weekly e-bulletin features up-to-date information about UN-related events and news. In addition, the “Together with the UN” interview section carries interviews conducted by college students participating in Model UN with top figures from UN-related organizations, including representatives to Japan from UN organizations (the first issue features an interview with Mr. Shunichi Murata, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Representative to Japan). The e-bulletin also involves other UN-related information about the various occasions, such as international days established by the UN.
To sign up for the e-bulletin, please send an e-mail with the title/subject of “Register” to soukokuki@mofa.go.jp (note: e-mail cannot be accepted from mobile phones). You will receive the next issue as it is released.
