Japanese IPC Visit to MFO

From 6 to 12 August 2022, the MFO had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from the Japanese International Peace Cooperation (IPC) Headquarters and the Ministry of Defense. Led by Ms. Michiko Miyano, the Director of the IPC, the delegation visited the MFO’s South Camp in Sinai, our Director General’s Representative in Israel, and the MFO’s Headquarters in Rome.

At all three locations, MFO representatives thanked the delegation for Japan’s longstanding support for the MFO mission and discussed our responsibilities for ensuring peace and stability in the region and the continuing importance of Japan’s role in enabling MFO operations as both a Donor and Troop-Contributing State.


In Sinai, our two Japanese contingent members spent time with Director Miyano and provided briefs on their key roles as members of the MFO Liaison team where they help develop and strengthen relationships with the two Treaty Parties. Director Miyano and the MFO Chief of Liaison, Colonel Chantal Tetreault, exchanged information and ideas on ways of building and improving cooperation to facilitate greater regional collaboration, peace operations, and strategic engagements and projects.
