Islamabad-UNS :On the invitation by the Government of Japan, the first batch of six Pakistani youth
will be visiting Japan from December 10 to 17, 2024 under the JENESYS (Japan-East Asia
Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) program. A total of 41 youths have been
invited from the SAARC countries to participate in this program which is being held under
the theme of “Energy”.
JENESYS is a youth exchange program between Japan and the Asia Pacific region
launched by the Japanese Government which aims at promoting mutual respect and
understanding among the peoples of Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. With focus on the
theme of “Energy”, the invitees from the SAARC countries during their stay in Japan will be
provided opportunities to learn and deepen further their understanding of Japan’s
economy, society, history, politics, and diplomatic relations, and also experience Japan’s
diverse culture through lectures and visits.
The Embassy of Japan held today a pre-departure orientation session for the
visiting youth to give them useful information before their departure for Japan.
H.E. Mr. AKAMATSU Shuichi, the Ambassador-designate of Japan to Pakistan, while
speaking on the occasion, hoped their stay in Japan will be a fruitful experience and
advised the visiting group to make best use of this opportunity and learn as much possible
about Japan during this short period. He also mentioned that the homestay in Japan
would be a highly valuable opportunity, not only to experience life in Japan but also to
offer the Japanese people a unique chance to learn about Pakistan's rich and historic
culture and gain a deeper understanding of the country. He wished that the visiting youth
can play the role of a bridge for further promoting mutual understanding and friendly
relations between Japan and Pakistan.
The Government of Japan invites every year several groups of youth from SAARC
countries to participate in this short term invitation. The program is expected not only to
promote capacity building but also to develop mutual understanding among youths of
Japan and that of SAARC countries.
