The awarding ceremony of the Watanabe Trust Fund Scholarship

On June 5, Ambassador Suzuki attended the awarding ceremony of the Watanabe Trust Fund Scholarship at the University of Iceland and congratulated the recipients.

The Fund was established with a founding contribution donated by a successful business person, Mr. Toshizo Watanabe in 2008 with the purpose of strengthening academic links between Iceland and Japan. A total of 18 students and researchers have been awarded scholarships this year, 15 of whom will travel from Iceland to Japan and 3 from Japan to Iceland.

We send warm wishes and heartfelt congratulations to all the recipients!
