On 29th September 2018, the Embassy of Japan and Japanese Language Teachers’ Association, Nepal (JALTAN), held the 11thJapanese Language Karaoke Competition at the Army Officers’ Club, Tundikhel, in Kathmandu. The competition is held annually, and is aimed to introduce Japanese culture and language to Nepali people.

This competition was jointly supported by the Japanese Association in Nepal; the Japanese Universities Alumni Association, Nepal (JUAAN); Nepal AOTS Alumni Association (NAAS); the JICA Alumni Association of Nepal (JAAN), and sponsor companies. We really appreciate their kind cooperation.

Ambassador Saigo attended the event and commented on the impressive performances by the participants and wished them good luck in their future Japanese language studies. He also encouraged them to learn more about Japan and hoped their Japanese language skills may support studying broad subjects in the future.
