President's Handover Dinner

Mon, Jul 1st 2024 at 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Guest speaker: Keith Dunn OBE, Hon Consul for Japan in Wales


Keith gave a most interesting talk on a role many of us had probably not realised existed - Honarary Consul for Japan in Wales.

Keith told us of his appointment to the role, including a letter of commission issues by the Japanes Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Consular Association in Wales covering some 30 countries.

Keith provided an insight into relations between Wales and Japan and the various products that are traded between the two countries and projects that are undertaken.

Of course the Rugby World Cup was held in Japan in 2019 and this provided just one example of the travelling between the countries.
