Cherry Trees Planted for the future of Hokkaido and Mongolia!

by Kazu

The participants to the planting ceremony included the directors of Hokkaido Development Agency, Hokkaido Branch of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Investment and  JICA Hokkaido.

In the hot and bright sunshine in summer, each participant put the soil little by little at the foot of the cherry tree to promise to exert their best efforts for the future of Mongolia and Hokkaido.

Needless to say, accelerating the exchanges between Mongolia and Hokkaido was included in their promise. It seemed that such cherry tree seedlings will be planted every year down the road.
