商工会会長挨拶　英語訳

I would like to extend my hearty congratulations to Akita International University for hosting today the 21st AIU Festival in great shape.

I would also like to extend my deepest words of gratitude to the members of the Executive Committee who worked with all their might to make this year’s festival so successful. Truly, they deserve considerable compliments for their work.

I am struck by the impact Akita International University has on the community at large in its 20-year anniversary university history through its innovative approach to liberal arts education through small class sizes. This has given way to graduates contributing positively towards society both nationally and internationally. I’m proud to see so many of the alumni have stayed in residence here to help with the development of Akita.

The Kawabe Yuwa Chamber of Commerce and Industry takes it upon ourselves to create a vital society and develop the community through our “Kawabe Yuwa, Home of the Arts” project. We attract artists to the area and promote collaboration between different industries to create a dynamically innovative environment. We think that this will result in further regional development through university and student partnerships.

Over the next couple of days, I invite all of you to take a well-deserved rest from your studies and create lifelong memories with friends and loved ones. Let us enjoy the AIU Festival to the fullest!

Lastly, I’d like to give my best regards for continued prosperity and success to Akita International University. May the AIU Festival touch our souls, move, and empower us all.
