Public Affairs Section

The Public Affairs Section is your window on the United States. Our job is toprovide information and opportunities to help Okinawans better understand allaspects of the U.S.

This includes working with the media, coordinating educational and culturalexchanges, and bringing American experts to Okinawa to lecture on policy issuesand aspects of American society and culture, as well as to discuss these issueswith their Okinawan counterparts. Through such activities we hope to create areal dialogue between Okinawans and Americans on the issues that are importantfor the future of our relationship.

The primary responsibility of the public affairs section is to facilitatethis dialogue by bringing Okinawans and Americans closer together. One of theways we are doing this is through Okinawa's two American Corners. Clickthe link below for the American Corners.

Public Affairs Naha also seeks to promote a relationship that is both deepand broad, through, for example, International Visitor (IV) and VoluntaryVisitor (VV) programs.
