Ireland enjoys excellent relations with Japan, fostered by strong cooperation at all levels, both here and in Japan. Since my meeting in December last with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Toshimitsu Motegi, we have exchanged a number of letters covering topics such as the ongoing COVID-19 situation and Ireland's election to the UN Security Council, and have also reaffirmed our mutual commitment to growing the ambition of our bilateral relationship.
