Happy New Year from the Consulate General of Japan in Davao!
This year, we celebrate the Philippines-Japan Friendship Year (70th Anniversary of Normalization of Diplomatic Relations), a meaningful milestone that invites us to reflect on our shared history, appreciate the strategic partnership we now enjoy, and look ahead to a future rich with opportunities for collaboration.
As we strengthen trade, investment, tourism, and foster cultural and people-to-people exchanges between Japan and Mindanao, the Consulate General of Japan in Davao will continue to safeguard the well-being of Japanese nationals and support the activities of Japanese companies in the island. At the same time, we remain committed to addressing issues concerning Japanese descendants and to ensuring that these important ties endure for generations to come.
The Consulate General of Japan in Davao exists to ensure that all Japanese people in Mindanao can spend their time safely and securely. If you notice anything, please feel free to consult us at any time. I extend my heartfelt wishes to everyone for good health, peace, joy, and prosperity in the year 2026.
