Thank those who are doing good to PNG

Farewell Mr Ambassador

IT is cheerless to hear of the Japanese Ambassador to Papua New Guinea Katsuo Yamashita’s departure (Post-Courier, November 3) after his services in the country.
In the past three years, Mr Yamashita had travelled immensely across the nation to touch the lives of many people in the rustic areas through his grassroots program where the PNG Government had failed miserably to deliver for decades.
He also helped in the economic assistance programs through his leadership with the help from the Japanese Government and its people.
His influential leadership depicts not only Japan’s commitment to PNG but to buttress the existing bilateral relations in the years ahead.
He will be gone but his kind gestures will be remembered in the lives of those he met during his term in PNG. Farewell Mr Yamashita.
