About the Mission

Welcome to the website of the Permanent Mission of Japan to the International Organizations in Geneva. Our Mission is responsible for representing the Government of Japan’s position in its relations with the approximately 30 international organizations based in Geneva. We have a team of some 100 persons comprising officials from the relevant Japanese governmental ministries and agencies and locally hired staff.
 
It was here in Geneva in 1920, that the League of Nations was founded. For over a century, the work carried out in this city by the nations of the world to promote multilateralism and international cooperation has been broadening and deepening in scope. The journey to date has, however, never been easy; and in these turbulent times for international politics Geneva’s international organizations continue to face great challenges.
 
To proactively contribute to peace based on the principle of international cooperation, the Government of Japan has made it a fundamental policy to strive to achieve peace, stability and prosperity in the world. Our Mission will continue to work tenaciously to achieve this goal through all its interactions with Geneva’s international organizations. I thank you for your understanding and support.
