Mabuhay!
I am ENDO Kazuya, the Ambassador-designate of Japan to the Philippines. I extend my heartfelt appreciation for the honor bestowed upon me as the Ambassador of Japan to the Philippines. Throughout my term as Director-General of the International Cooperation Bureau at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I had the distinct privilege of visiting the Philippines. Especially noteworthy was my opportunity to join Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio’s visit to the Philippines last November, where I witnessed firsthand the dynamic and vibrant nature of Japan-Philippine relations.
The robust ties binding our nations have set the stage for “the golden age” of the Strategic Partnership. Our relations are expanding in various areas, from the economy and security to cultural and people-to-people exchanges. As I embark on this diplomatic journey in the Philippines, I look forward to collaborating with the Filipino community to further elevate these wonderful relations. Together, let us aspire to a future defined by strengthened ties, shared prosperity, and enduring friendship.
