On the occasion of the 1st anniversary of the devastating Gorkha earthquake, the Embassy of Japan would like to extend deep condolences and heartfelt sympathy to all the victims of the disaster.

According to a press release issued by Japanese Embassy, the Government of Japan and JICA have already started the support to the National Reconstruction Authority, in cooperation with other international donors, to reconstruct damaged houses and school buildings in the most damaged districts. As a true friend of Nepal, the Government of Japan is fully committed to support the socio-economic development of Nepal, by especially focusing on earthquake reconstruction work.

A series of strong earthquakes which hit Japan in this April caused big damage to Kumamoto and Oita Prefectures in Japan.  On this occasion, the Embassy of Japan would like to express sincere appreciation to the Government of Nepal and its people for their warm support to the suffered people in the two prefectures.
