Hey, come on boys and girls. The government is planning to recruit a student diplomat corps to be dispatched to U.N. headquarters in New York.
The Foreign Ministry will invite some 60 Japanese high school students on an unprecedented tour of U.N. headquarters during the summer holiday period.
According to the ministry's U.N. policy division, the unique tour program aims to help Japanese high school pupils understand current U.N. functions and the role the world body is expected to play in the 21st century.
