I am proud to be a member of the #ConsularCorps on #Guam. We have a monthly regular meeting and sometimes a distinguished guest is invited like in the photos. Thanks to #Korean colleague In kook Kim and of course the #Governor Lou Leon Guerrero.
On Feb 23, we celebrated the #Emperor’s Birthday at Hotel Nikko Guam for the first time in the last 3 years. Numerous distinguished guests participated in the reception, including #Governor Lou Leon Guerrero and First Gentleman Jeff Cook. Great honor to welcome you.
#Guam
On Feb. 22, I visited Sen. Thomas #Fisher in his office for the first time after the election. I felt a high level of confidence in his professionalism and his words and actions.
Sen. Jessy #Lujan and I have already met each other on several occasions. I appreciate it very much that the Senator took the time out of his busy schedule to join our event “One Guam” on Mar. 14.
The photo attached was taken when I paid the courtesy call on him on Feb. 20.
In Feb. 16, I visited Sen. Christopher #Barnett in his office. I was impressed that he was very friendly to me, even though we had never met before. Thank you, Senator.
This evening, members of the Consular Corps were invited to the #Governor’s 2023 State of the Island Address at the #Guam Congress Bldg. I also attended for the third consecutive year.

On Feb. 15, paid a courtesy call on Sen. Roy #Quinta, the youngest senator in the #Guam#Legislature’s history. We had already greeted each other more than 10 times on various occasions, but we finally took the time to talk about a variety of topics.
Today, I paid a courtesy call on Sen. Will #Parkinson and enjoyed a conversation with him on various topics, including #Japan-#Guam relations. It was a day that renewed my awareness that Guam has many talented people.

My first online courtesy call on #Guam was to former #ChiefJudge Carbullido. It was the current Chief Judge Torres who was next to me when I first saw the 5-hour Liberation Parade at the Grandstand. They have always been outstandingly insightful & gracious in their demeanor.
