Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Thursday has said that Japan intends to continue its support for the U.N. agency assisting Palestinian refugees in the Middle East.
Ishiba expressed his support during a meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office with Akihiro Seita, the director of health at the Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
