Recently, U.N. Information Centre Director Kaoru Nemoto had the chance to meet Justice Minister Yoko Kamikawa. Nemoto asked about Kamikawa's expectations toward the U.N., especially in relation to the upcoming 14th U.N. Crime Congress to be held in Japan in 2020. The two also exchanged views on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and crime prevention, as well as female leadership in Japan. The summary of the dialogue is below.
Nemoto: I understand you have maintained a keen interest in the U.N. over the years.
Kamikawa: Yes. The U.N. is a symbol of global societal cooperation. Many U.N. offices are located in the U.N. University building in Shibuya. I find great meaning in its related organizations collaborating within the same U.N. building in Japan, especially in the areas of public outreach.
