A truly momentous opportunity. Observed by Their Imperial Highnesses Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako of Japan, I was thrilled to be invited as a keynote speaker and a main facilitator of the discussion on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) together with international youth at the International Youth Conference, held by the Cabinet Office of Japan in Tokyo on 27th September.
This conference started in 1994 in commemoration of the royal marriage of H.I.H. the Crown Prince, which identified the SDGs as the theme of this year’s conference. The event was broadcast across the country and Okayama University’s reputation was also raised as the leading university receiving prestigious awards and recognitions from UN and the government to advance the SDGs. Very honorable and memorable.
On May 1, 2019, Crown Prince Naruhito will become Japan’s 126th emperor and Crown Princess Masako will become empress of Japan.
