Diplomatic Outreach to Japan

  • September 26, 2016

ADL met with the newly appointed Consul General of Japan in Los Angeles Akira Chiba on September 15.

The group discussed ADL Global 100 findings specific to Japan and heard from the Japanese Consul General about measures being taken in their home country to fight against anti-Semitism. There was also discussion about the work being done by ADL in reaching out to the large consular corps in Los Angeles to create awareness about anti-Semitism and discrimination both domestically and abroad, as well as the work of ADL’s Asian Jewish Initiative, helping to build alliances and partnerships between Asian and Jewish communities in Los Angeles through constructive dialogue and exploration of topics of mutual concern.

ADL Pacific Southwest Regional outreach to the international community is made possible by the generosity of the Mutchnik Diplomatic Initiative.
