On behalf of my team members‚ it is my great pleasure to deliver this farewell speech at the conclusion of this EE&C training program. The journey we’ve undertaken throughout this program has been one of knowledge sharing‚ exploration of technology and innovation‚ cultural exchange‚ and most importantly‚ the opportunity to make new friends. It has also been a chance to understand‚ appreciate‚ and engage with Japanese society.

The clean‚ welcoming‚ and safe atmosphere of this beautiful country has truly left a lasting impression on all of us. The lessons learned here will empower us to develop‚ implement‚ and coordinate EE&C efforts back in our own countries‚ helping us to also reduce carbon emissions. This program has also given us insight into how Japan‚ through JICA‚ plays a crucial role in assisting developing nations to achieve their SDG goals.

I must take a moment to acknowledge the exceptional coordination of this program. We give thanks and appreciation to our Course Leader Morinaga-san‚ Coordinator Aratake-san‚ Program Officer Ogawa-san and senior advisor Dr. Yoshida-san‚ for their hard work‚ dedication‚ and invaluable guidance. Your efforts have made this training both enjoyable and rewarding. Subarashii!
