It was a great honor and privilege for the postgraduate class HDS501 to have His Excellency Mr. Genichi Terasawa from the Embassy of Japan to speak on Japan’s Development Programme to Samoa on 21 April 2021. The presentation was narrowed down into three sections: Japan’s assistance for strengthening medical sectors of Samoa to fight with the current COVID 19 Pandemic, Japan’s Aid to address the social economic difficulties and Japan’s Assistance Policy for Samoa. Very educational and thought provoking presentation by His Excellency as the Postgraduate Students of HDS501 grasp first hand this knowledge shared. Thank you your Excellency for your time 🙂
