Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Ambassador Akira Yamada, said his country has paid increased attention to the development agenda of the region and that Tokyo’s increased interest had been manifested in its participation in the ministerial meetings of the Council for Foreign and Community Relations and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), in May.
