Professor Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He is the tenth Japanese national to win a Nobel Prize. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to him on receiving this award.

This award shows that the distinguished research conducted by Professor Noyori has been recognized at a global level.

I look forward to seeing Professor Noyori continue his work and achieve even greater results.

Encouraged by this award, I intend to make even greater efforts toward the goal of making Japan a nation that is built through the promotion of science and technology.
