Prime Minister Shinzo Abe received a courtesy call from Ms. Margareta Wahlström, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction of the United Nations (UN), at the Prime Minister’s Office.
The Prime Minister said in his address,
“At the upcoming Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, I would like to make the most of Japan’s experiences in coping with disasters and promote disaster risk reduction throughout the world.
Furthermore, Sendai, where the conference will be held, was also one of the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and I hope to share with the world the progress of reconstruction from the disaster-affected areas.”
