Ceremony Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Sylff Program at Massey University [2011/07/20]

Rubbing noses and foreheads in greeting withMassey University Vice-Chancellor Maharey Massey University is one of New Zealand’s finest universities.


Ceremony Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Sylff Program at Massey University


In late June of last year, I was in New Zealand, where I attended the ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of a Sylff Fellowship Fund at Massey University.

“Sylff” is short for the Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund, which supports students pursuing graduate studies in the humanities and social sciences. For the program to date, endowments of $1 million each have been presented to 69 countries and consortia in 44 countries; and around 13,000 students have received fellowships since the program was first launched in 1987.

I was honored to have the opportunity to address the audience attending the June, 2011 ceremony at Massey University, and an English transcript of my speech is now available at the Nippon Foundation Website. I hope that you will take a moment to have a look at my speech, which addressed the amicable relations between New Zealand and Japan and our shared experience last year of coping with the harrowing experience of a massive earthquake and its aftermath.
