Abstract:

The Japanese Embassy is the contact point when you lose your passport. That’s right! However, its roles are not limited to passport assistance. The diplomatic missions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which encompasses embassies and consulate generals, include ensuring the safety of Japanese nationals living abroad, supporting Japanese companies in operating their businesses, building and enhancing good relationships between the government of Japan and those of other countries to increase Japan’s presence in international society, and promoting Japanese culture.

As a Foreign Ministry official who specializes in the Spanish language and has worked at the diplomatic missions in India (Chennai), Mexico (Guanajuato), and El Salvador for a total of 12 years, I will, on the basis of my experiences, introduce the jobs at the Japanese diplomatic missions abroad and the career paths at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I hope that this seminar will be a good opportunity for you to learn about working as a Japanese diplomat given that you may have few opportunities to meet diplomats in your daily life.
