Ambassador Roos spoke of the importance of Japan-US relations and how students are the key to the future. Questions from the students covered a wide range of topics. Judging from the very positive feedback from the students, it was clear that they had great interest in Ambassador Roos, not only as a representative, but as a real person and greatly benefited from learning about his views. And from his response to the students, they could sense that he places great emphasis on learning about understanding between cultures and believes that cross-cultural exchanges can be one of the keys to maintaining and developing good relations between the United States of American and Japan. We are very grateful to him, his family and his staff for giving us this opportunity to see “diplomacy” from the inside.
