April 2022

Dear members,

The arrival of the cherry blossoms heralds a new financial year and a fresh beginning. In the same spirit, the FCCJ is moving out of Covid-19 restrictions with the energy to start again. I believe we can all play our part in making good on our plans to bring the pre-pandemic days back to our Club.

Dear members,

I am sure everyone is looking forward to spring after a particularly harsh winter. I certainly am, not least because it coincides with a busy time for the Club and its Board.

January 2022

Dear members,

First, may I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2022!

As usual, the winter in Tokyo during the holiday season turned out to be gorgeous, even though other parts of Japan experienced record snowfall.

I believe 2022 is going to be a very special time for all of us at the FCCJ, and that the challenges we face in the coming months will be overcome in the spirit of collaboration. As president, I would like to encourage every single member to help us steer through the ongoing and post-pandemic era.

From the President- October 2021

 

Dear members

After a gap of more than six years, I am again president of our beloved FCCJ. For those of you who don’t know me, a quick introduction: I am a Sri Lankan journalist and have lived in Japan for more than three decades. My writing focuses on Japan-Asia relations and sustainable and development issues, a theme that has gained global attention over the past few years.
