Message from the Foreign Minister

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the victims of the train collision in the Province of Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain and express my sympathy to their families. I also pray for the swift recovery of those who were injured.

Furthermore, the Government of Spain has informed us that two Japanese nationals were included on the train's passenger list. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has established response headquarters and is currently working to confirm their safety. The Government of Japan will continue to do its utmost to ensure the protection of its nationals, in cooperation with the Spanish authorities.
