Your Majesty,

On the occasion of National Foundation Day, I have the honour to convey my congratulations to Your Majesty and to the people of Japan.

Japan’s long history, and its contribution to learning, craft and the arts, are held in high regard in Kaharagia. I take this opportunity to express my respect for the Japanese people and my good wishes for the year ahead.

Please accept, Your Majesty, the assurances of my profound respect and highest consideration.
