The Embassy of the Republic of Palau in Japan participated in the 1st Pacific Day held at Yokohama International Tennis Community (YITC) on April 23rd, 2016. Ambassador Matsutaro participated in this event as a tennis player. This event was held as Palau Day last year, but was expanded to 7 Pacific Island Countries (Republic of Fiji, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, Papua New Guinea, Independent State of Samoa, Kingdom of Tonga) with Embassies in Japan, and Ambassadors and Representatives from each Embassy participated in the event.
Rain has been observed in all of Palau for the past few days. With relief support from nations worldwide, a critical situation has passed. The State of Emergency expired and no further extensions are expected as of now. But still, not enough rain has fallen to solve the water shortage.
