Congratulatory Letter from Foreign Minister IWAYA to George Glass
On April 9th, Mr. IWAYA Takeshi, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, sent a congratulatory letter to the Honorable George Glass, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Japan.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on your confirmation as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan.
Japan-U.S. Alliance is the cornerstone of peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. With the increasingly severe security environment in the region, it is required more than ever to realize a free and open Indo-Pacific through enhancing deterrence and response capabilities of the Alliance as well as our economic relations.
It is extremely encouraging for us to welcome you as Ambassador to Japan who have an outstanding experience in diplomacy and business, and have earned the deep trust of President Trump.
Anticipating your early arrival, I look forward to working and cooperating closely with you to elevate the Japan-U.S. Alliance to new heights.
Please accept my best wishes as you assume your new post.”
