On March 24, Radosław Tyszkiewicz, President of the Foundation, met in Tokyo with representatives of the Meguro District Friendship League – Poland. During a discussion with Kenji Tajima, Chairman of the League, the Foundation’s activities and projects were reviewed, and opportunities for potential cooperation and the implementation of joint projects promoting Polish-Japanese friendship and relations, particularly within the Meguro district, were considered. Yasuhiro Onose, Chairman of the Meguro District Parliament, expressed his support for the Foundation’s activities. For many years, the Meguro district has supported and promoted Poland, partly due to the fact that the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Tokyo is located within its territory. In 2024, members of the League visited Poland and established cooperation with the Warszawa-Śródmieście district. In 2025, representatives of the League plan to visit the Polish Pavilion at the upcoming World Expo in Osaka.
