Chairman’s message
We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to all victims and those afflicted in the earthquake and tsunami disaster, which hit the Tohoku district of Japan on March 11, 2011.
This unprecedented disaster was a catastrophe not only to the directly afflicted areas, but to Japan as a whole. The entire nation must therefore support the stricken areas. We strongly believe that this hardship must be overcome through mutual cooperation in the nationwide scale.
Kankeiren, together with Kansai’s local governments and related organizations, will combine our forces with utmost effort to support the disaster relief.
