Japan's Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko made an official visit to Paraguay to mark 90 years of Japanese immigration to the South American country. The visit also aimed to strengthen ties with the Japanese expatriate community residing there, according to Kyodo News.
The visit comes as Paraguay remains one of the key destinations of Japanese emigration waves since the early 20th century. The Japanese community and their descendants in Paraguay currently play a significant role in various sectors of the host country's economy, agriculture, and culture.
During the visit, the Crown Prince and Princess are expected to meet with Paraguayan leaders, visit facilities related to the Japanese community, and attend commemorative events. The visit is seen as a symbol of the strong friendship between the two nations and reaffirms the Japanese Imperial Family's interest in overseas expatriate communities.
This activity is part of a series of diplomatic visits by the Japanese Imperial Family to countries with significant Japanese populations, aimed at further strengthening solidarity and bilateral cooperation.
