Greetings from Consul General Takeda
2025/4/23
I am Katsutoshi Takeda, and I have just assumed my new post as the Consul General of Japan in Edinburgh. I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings to the people of Scotland, North East England and Cumbria, which are under the jurisdiction of this Consulate, as well as to all Japanese people residing here.
Japan, Scotland, North East England and Cumbria as regions with long histories and rich cultures, have much in common and have built deep, friendly and cooperative relationships over the years. These relationships have continued to deepen in many areas such as economy, society, culture, and education, and I will continue to do our utmost to ensure that these continue to develop further.
In particular, I will strive to deepen our mutual understanding through cultural exchange, strengthen economic cooperation, and serve as a bridge to enable collaboration between companies and organisations in the Consulate’s jurisdiction and in Japan. Furthermore, I will wholeheartedly ensure that Japanese nationals residing in this country, as well as those visiting the area, can enjoy their stay here with peace of mind.
I will continue to devote my efforts towards further deepen the bonds of friendship and cooperation between Japan, Scotland, North East England and Cumbria.
