Greetings from Ambassador Asari
2025/1/26
It is a profound honor for me to serve in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a great country renowned for its beauty and history. Having assumed my post as recently as on 3 January 2025, I am already deeply impressed by the warmth and hospitality of the Jordanian people, as well as by the breathtaking beauty of its townscapes and landscape rooted in Jordan’s rich history and culture.
Japan and Jordan have cultivated a strong friendship through people-to-people exchanges and cooperation on various levels, from grassroots initiatives to high-level engagements, with a notable highlight being the longstanding relationship between Jordan’s Royal Family and Japan’s Imperial Family.
Last year, in 2024, the two nations celebrated the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. This marked a significant milestone in our nation’s histories. Designated as a “Strategic Partnership” since 2018, our two nations have further consolidated the cooperative relationship through robust dialogue across various areas including politics, defense and security, economic and development cooperation, public diplomacy and cultural exchanges, as well as humanitarian assistance for refugees.
In an ever-evolving global and regional landscape, particularly in the Middle East, I am fully committed to further strengthening bilateral relations and advancing our cooperation to new heights, contributing to the stability of the region.
The Embassy will also actively support Japanese businesses operating in Jordan and strive to provide high-quality consular services to ensure the well-being and safety of Japanese nationals residing in the country.
In pursuit of these goals, I intend to visit various regions of Jordan, to engage with its people, and deepen my understanding of this remarkable country.
I sincerely look forward to your continued support and cooperation.
