The Governor of Gifu Prefecture of Japan, Mr.Hajime Furuta and his party paid an official visit to SEAFDEC Training Department (TD) on 27 May 2016. At the welcoming reception, SEAFDEC Secretary-General and Chief of TD Dr. Kom Silapajarn led all SEAFDEC staff to greet the visitor. The role played by SEAFDEC and TD on the regional fisheries development and significant achievements were presented by the Secretary-General to the honorable guest. In this occasion, the signing ceremony of Memorandum of Understanding between SEAFDEC and Gifu Prefecture was carried out to promote educational and technical cooperation for the sustainable development of inland fisheries in the Southeast Asian region.

Subsequently, a tour to observe TD facilities such as fishing workshop, engineering workshop, M.V.SEAFDEC was conducted.  

Gifu Prefecture located precisely in the center of Japan, is roughly divided into two regions: Hida in the north and Mino in the south. While the Hida region is defined largely by its grand mountains that rise more than 3,000 meters above sea level and the heavy snow it gets during the winter, the Mino region is characterized by its expansive plains and clear, flowing rivers. This sharp contrast between regions gives Gifu a marvelous variety in scenery and culture that few places can match.
