Tokyo, Japan – On Wednesday, June 26th, as part of the ongoing Micronesian Children Exchange program in Japan, the delegation from Yap comprising 12 children and 2 chaperones visited the newly opened FSM Embassy in Japan. This visit marked a significant occasion as Yap became one of the first delegations to tour the Embassy's new building, inaugurated just last month. During the visit, the delegation had the honor of meeting with His Excellency Ambassador John Fritz. Another highlight of the visit was the delegation's viewing of the first stone money discovered in Japan, now prominently displayed at the Embassy's entrance.
As a gesture of goodwill and cultural exchange, Mr. Constantine Gilbeengin, one of the chaperones of the Yap delegation, presented Ambassador Fritz with an intricately carved stone money as a token of appreciation. More details and updates to follow.
