His Excellency Mr. NAKATA Masahiro, Ambassador of Japan, accompanied by Mrs. MAKANA Nio, Second Secretary, paid a courtesy visit to the headquarters of the Executive Secretariat in Rabat on September 1, 2025.
During this first meeting, both parties had the opportunity to review achievements within the framework of fisheries cooperation between Japan and COMHAFAT, particularly regarding the sustainable use of living marine resources and ways to further strengthen this cooperation.
The new Ambassador of Japan to the Kingdom of Morocco reiterated his Government’s support for COMHAFAT’s activities, especially the projects included in the new 2025-2027 Strategic Action Plan, adopted at the 11th Ordinary Session of the Conference of Ministers on April 24 in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
This working session also provided an opportunity for both parties to commend the excellence of the relations between COMHAFAT member states and Japan within international fisheries and fisheries management bodies, as well as their shared views on management measures adopted to ensure the sustainability of fisheries, based on scientific evidence.
