Address by His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince
on the occasion of the Inaugural Session of the Annual Meeting
of the Boards of Governors
of the Inter-American Development Bank
and the Inter-American Investment Corporation
Sunday, April 10, 2005
Okinawa Convention Center, Okinawa

President Iglesias,
Excellencies,
Distinguished participants,
Ladies and gentlemen,

It is a great pleasure for me to attend, here in Okinawa, the 46th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Inter-American Development Bank and the 20th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Inter-American Investment Corporation.

The Inter-American Development Bank has achieved a large number of successes in advancing social and economic development as well as trade and regional integration in Latin American and Caribbean countries. The Inter-American Investment Corporation has likewise contributed significantly to the growth of regional economies, primarily by providing finance to small and medium-sized enterprises.

A considerable number of Japanese nationals, including many from Okinawa, have emigrated to Latin American and Caribbean region over the years. The efforts and achievements of these Japanese immigrants have provided the basis for strong ties that have lasted for more than a century between Japan and this region. Recently, an increasing number of descendants of these Japanese immigrants have come back to Japan, contributing to strengthening further human and economic ties between the two.

I am pleased that Japan has been deeply engaged in the activities of the IDB group, in its role as the largest non-regional shareholder. In 1991, I fortunately had the opportunity to give the welcoming address at the Annual Meeting of the group held in Nagoya. Fourteen years later, with the backdrop of progressing globalization, and increasing economic ties between Latin American and Caribbean countries and Asian countries, it is of great significance that the IDB group has once again selected Japan as the site of its Annual Meeting of this year.

I understand that Latin American and Caribbean countries have gone through a number of economic challenges since the Nagoya meeting. Nevertheless, they have achieved steady economic growth by various means including the expansion of both intra-regional and inter-regional trade. I expect that the IDB Group will play an increasingly important role in assisting the countries of the region to help themselves in these spheres.

In closing, I hope that this Annual Meeting will prove to be a forum that will contribute substantially to deepening mutual understanding between Latin American and Caribbean countries and Asian countries and will ensure an even brighter future for both regions.

2005年ごろは、”みんなで平等においしいお料理を分け合っていい住居に平等に住もうよ”とかやっていたんだって。

”あのねぇ～愛子様がお相撲が好きなんだけど”って言うんだよ。

忙しくて相撲どこじゃねぇよ。


フランス大統領杯止めろと言ったら、やめればいいんだよ。

結構反抗的なんだよ。

”やめないもん～私だけお相撲のテレビ見るもん～”

”私フランスの大統領なんかに命令されないもん！”


”え、あなた日本人じゃないの！？”


で、今日テレビに出ている、”でも実は私、肌の色が白くて、英語が母語なんだけど！”
っていう日本人は何？


”私って、日本文化とか、歌舞伎が好きなんだってあなたやって”　って命令するんだよ・・・


”相撲って日本の文化なのになんで白人に盗られたの？
フランス大統領なんかいないほうが格調が高い日本文化に戻るもん！

ったくあなた英語もかけないんですかぁ？”

何なんだよ日本人って・・・






でも、このスピーチの記録には何も書いていないな。

アメリカの政府機関の末端文書だもん当然だよな。

何なんだよ日本って。使ってやっても何も情報仕入れてこないじゃんか・・・
