H.E. Mr. Lukman Faily talked briefly about Iraq history and current challenges. After the lecture, students visited the cultural office detached in Takanawa, Tokyo. Students also tried on Iraqi style clothes.

The Ambassador gave them a message in which he said;@gEnjoying your life is one thing. At the same time we need to explore foreign countries to understand each other. Every country has its own culture and tradition. Wars canft settle problems. Dialogs and diplomacy will resolve disputes. We all need to work together to establish justice and basic human rights. These will form strong foundation for global peace.h
