TT, Japan talk natural disasters

A release from the ministry last week said Sonura paid a courtesy call on Moses at his office at Tower C of the Portof- Spain International Waterfront Centre.

Moses and Sonura noted that both TT and Japan are islands and prone to natural disasters.

Sonura indicated that Japan has identified natural disaster prevention and the environment as focal areas for bilateral cooperation. He also said Japan will continue providing TT with cooperation in these areas despite this country’s graduation to a high income level country.

Moses assured Sonura of TT’s support for Japan’s position on the reform of the United Nations Security Council. Sonura indicated Japan’s readiness to work together with the Caribbean and African countries on text based negotiations within the United Nations Friendship Group in New York in 2018.
