Lin specifically thanked former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and expressed gratitude for Japan’s help with delivering masks in Wuhan Province, the center of the Chinese outbreak.
The symposium was organized by a number of groups, including the International Association of Asian Communities, the Belt and Road Japan Research Center and the Asian Institute of Graduate Studies.
