Akie Abe

Japan’s First Lady to visit military band

The aim of the visit is to encourage the military band, which has been trained and equipped by Japanese assistance for the last three years.

Training included session with Retired Colonel Katsuo Mizushina, under the Japan International Cooperation Agency or JICA, in coordination with Japanese Self Defence Force.

The PNGDF Military was weakening with few equipment and poor training, until the program was introduced.
