Message from Mr. Akira Ouchi, Consul General of Japan in Karachi

Welcome to the website of the Consulate-General of Japan at Karachi.
I am Akira Ouchi, the new Consul-General of Japan in Karachi. I arrived in Karachi on the 8th of November 2012.
I am very pleased to assume the post of the Consul-General of Japan in
Karachi, which is the largest city of rich culture in Pakistan. I look forward to working here and learning about the long history of 5000 years and deep
culture of Pakistan, which is the birthplace of Indus Valley Civilization.
The relationship between Japan and Pakistan has become closer these years and is expected to be further developed in the future. Karachi is the largest
city and economic center of Pakistan and has a large potential to expand

economic activities, including the development of business relationshipbetween Japan and Pakistan.
I will do my best to further promote cultural exchange and people-to-people exchange between the two countries, including the exchange between the Japanese residents and the Pakistani people in Southern Pakistan, particularly in Karachi.

I will also try to support the Pakistani efforts for the betterment of living conditions of local areas in Southern Pakistan.

I am determined to make every effort to further promote mutual understanding and friendly relationship between Japan and Pakistan in my capacity as the Consul-General of Japan in Karachi.

November 2012
