All of you demonstrated that Japan is a responsible regional partner through your search and rescue activities carried out at the request of our important partners Malaysia and Australia.

I have received a report that related ministries and agencies worked closely together and facilitated the provision of assistance on this occasion.
I am very pleased that the Government worked as one to practice our policy of proactive contribution to peace.

Thank you again for your very hard work.”
