On 8 Nov, a delegation from the International Division of the Saitama Prefectural Government visited our office. The Saitama Prefectural Government is currently promoting Kumagaya City internationally. Located in the northern area of Saitama Prefecture, the Kumagaya Rugby Stadium in Kumagaya City is one of the venues of the Rugby World Cup 2019. During the meeting with the delegation, CLAIR Sydney staff explained that interests in the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Australia is very high, and recommended promoting Kumagaya City at the Matsuri Japan Festival on 8 Dec in Sydney, as it will be an excellent opportunity to promote Japanese local government areas.
Next year is the 35th anniversary of the Sister City relationship between Queensland and Saitama Prefecture. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support Saitama Prefecture’s activities in Australia.
