Way Fair

Message from Mr Yoshizo Ikeda, president, Japan Indus try Floating Fair Association: I am very happy that the

Japan Industry Floating Fair

Association, under the guid ance of the Japanese Govern ment, is able to stage the thirteenth floating fair voyage to countries in Oceania and South-east Asia.

The purpose of the floating fair is to promote mutual understanding between Japan and the countries visited through the presentation of the society of Japan as it is today, and also the exhibition of our latest industrial products and modem technology which, we hope, will be helpful for these countries, which are now

promoting economic develop

ment plans.

As a trial we are at this time exhibiting local products of some of the countries we are visiting in the hope that we may be able to contribute to an increase in mutual trade and economic exchanges between these countries and Japan. I hope that this floating fair will be a token of tomorrow’s pros perity, and will represent our contribution to friendship.

Mr Yoshizo Ikeda
