I would like to extend warm greetings to the people of the Republic of Indonesia. I am KISHIDA Fumio, Prime Minister of Japan. If I may, I would like to start with a word of respect for Indonesia’s successful chairpersonship in the ASEAN-related meetings throughout this year. I would also like to express my gratitude for the Indonesian people’s warm welcome I received during my visit to Indonesia to attend the ASEAN-related summit meetings last September.
This weekend, I will be hosting the ASEAN-Japan Commemorative Summit marking the 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation. It is my great pleasure to welcome President Joko to Tokyo from Indonesia on this historic occasion.
