7th February,
2013
The year 2012 marked the 30th
anniversary of the Look East Policy which was a significant milestone
in the course of history of Japan-Malaysia relations. This memorable
year also witnessed a State Visit by Their Majesties the Yang
di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia XIV and Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia
to Japan in October. In this connection, the reciprocal conferment of
courtesy decorations took place, where the Japanese Government decided
to confer Collar of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum and Grand
Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum on His Majesty and
Grand Cordon of the Order of the Precious Crown on Her Majesty,
respectively.
While the decoration presentation to His
Majesty was conducted during the State Visit in Japan, due to various
circumstances, the presentation to Her Majesty was conducted here in
Malaysia. On 6th February 2013, Ambassador and Madame Nakamura had an
audience with Their Majesties at the National Palace to present the
decoration as well as a memorial photo album of the State Visit.
The Imperial Family of Japan and the
Royal Family of Malaysia have been cherishing their time-honored
cordial relations to date. This reciprocal conferment of courtesy
decorations is expected to carry forward the friendly cooperative ties
between the two countries further ahead.
