On May 30, Secretary-General LIM Byung-jin visited the Seoul office of the Council for Local Authorities Internationalization in Japan (CLAIR) and met with its director, KODANI Norimasa.


Mr. Lim introduced how NEAR was established. Then, he presented the activities of Japanese NEAR members as well as NEAR's events throughout the year. In addition, Mr. Lim requested the active participation and cooperation of Japanese local governments. Mr. Kodani responded that CLAIR will do what it can to cooperate in the future, such as sending the staff members of CLAIR to the NEAR Working-level Workshop, which will be hosted by the NEAR Secretariat this coming June.



CLAIR was established in 1988 to promote the internationalization of Japanese local governments. It is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Since its Seoul office was established in 1993, it has been conducting various activities for exchange between Japan and Korea.
