Congratulations to Nikkei Australia founding member Dr Yuriko Nagata, who was awarded the Japanese Foreign Minister’s Commendation in 2024 for her contributions to the Japan Australia relationship.
She was one of 186 individuals and 59 groups around the world to be awarded a commendation in 2024. 10 individuals and one group received commendations in Australia.
Dr Nagata was awarded this honour for her tireless work in promoting friendship between Japan and Australia in the areas of Japanese language, education, and historical research.
Dr Nagata received the award in October at a special ceremony held at the Consulate General of Japan in Brisbane. Nikkei Australia Chair Elysha Rei also attended the event.
Congratulations Dr Nagata!
