Today, a representative of Tasmania, Australia paid a courtesy call on Secretary General of Governor's Office, Hokkaido Government. The island of Tasmania is located at 43 degrees south latitude. Hokkaido is located at 43 degrees north latitude. Two islands may be able to establish a special relationship with each other. Active exchange in private sectors should be required for the better relationship between the regions.
Akkeshi town has already established a sister-city relationship with a town in Tasmania, Clarence. More than one hundred years ago, a ship was wrecked off shore of Akkeshi Town near Kushiro City. Citizens of the town rescued the crew of the ship. It is the beginning of the relationship of the municipalities.
What will start from now ?
