On 22 May, Ambassador MIYAGAWA Manabu met with Mr Ken Spratt, Secretary General of the Department of Transport. The Ambassador heard from the Secretary General about the Department’s recent priority issues, following his visit to Japan in March together with Minister of State for Transport Seán Canney as part of the St Patrick’s Day diplomacy (see the Embassy’s Facebook post dated 9 April).
