On 30 March, Ambassador and Madame Suzuki attended a Hanami gathering in Regent’s Park, organised by the Sakura Cherry Tree Project. This event was held against the backdrop of the park’s role as one of the first sites where sakura cherry trees provided by the project were planted in 2019.
Ambassador Suzuki noted that the project was on track to reach its target of planting 10,000 trees in the UK. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to all those who had contributed to the project so far, and his hope that the sakura cherry trees would contribute to further strengthening friendly relations between Japan and the UK.
