On Thursday October 17th, 2024, Head Consul Hamada met with Mayor Sue McClure of Seward and some of her city staff to discuss the long-standing sister city relationship Seward has with Obihiro, Japan.

As the recent exchanges between Obihiro and Seward were highlighted there was also opportunity to discuss topics such as the South Central Mayor’s Energy Coalition, challenges to tourism, seasonality of workers, and upcoming port development. It is always exciting to see the potential for deepened cultural and economic ties across Alaska’s numerous connections to Japan.

The Consular Office of Japan looks forward to continued cooperation with Mayor McClure and the City of Seward.
