As part of the ongoing cultural cooperation between the Consulate General of Japan in Jeddah and the Jeddah Literary and Cultural Club (JLCC), Japanese Consul General Toshimitsu Ishigure last week presented JLCC Chairman, Dr. Abdul Mohsen Faraj Al-Qahtani, with copies of two new books on the economic development and modern history of Japan, respectively.
Ishigure, who has visited the JLCC several times in the past and presented Japanese books and publications, including a book for children written by Empress Michiko, told Saudi Gazette that he will be happy if Saudis are able to read Japanese books translated into Arabic and broaden their knowledge about Japan. – SG
