During the meetings, Lazzarini commended the political support of Japan to Palestine refugees and UNRWA in particular, and asked for continued Japanese solidarity with the Palestinian refugees, especially during this mandate renewal year and in light of the 70th anniversary of Japan-UNRWA relations in 2023.
"Japan is among UNRWA’s most critical political and financial supporters” said Lazzarini. “Such consistent support is the corner stone on which UNRWA’s work with and for Palestine refugees rests. I thank the Government of Japan for its kindness and generosity towards those suffering from the world’s most protracted refugee crisis. I look forward to continuing our cooperation.”
