PRAYER FOR PEACE – MAYOR OF NERIMA CITY

Councillor Bromage read the Prayer for Peace delivered by Mayor Toshiro Shimura, Mayor of Nerima City, Tokyo, Japan on 14 March 2012: I wish to extend my appreciation for the heartwarming message from Mayor Pisasale upon Nerima Prayer for Peace Concert again this year. Our Prayer for Peace Concert will be its 19th this year. We decided to hold it in March, as it will have been one year since the Great East Japan Earthquake which occurred on March 11, 2011. The purpose of the concert is to provide opportunities for participating citizens to think about world peace through music, the common language of the world. The message you kindly sent us will be presented to participants during the concert. Thoughts and prayers from Ipswich, our overseas friendship city, will serve as a trigger for citizens to think of peace of the world. Last year, not only Australia and Japan, but also countries all over the world faced devastating effects of natural disasters. While Ipswich continues to deal with the aftermath for full recovery, it also kindly welcomed Nerima Junior High School students as it has always done. The students had wonderful experiences which will last a lifetime and your hospitality is deeply appreciated. I also pledge to do my best for full recovery of Japan. My desire is that friendships, like the one between Ipswich and Nerima, will be expanded to countries and communities all over the world, and that peace will prevail in the world. Mayor Paul Pisasale, your Assemblymen and the people of Ipswich, on the basis of the achievement of mutual exchanges of our cities, let us keep demonstrating the positive actions to realize a brighter and more prosperous future worldwide.

PRAYER FOR PEACE – MAYOR OF CITY OF IPSWICH

Councillor Bromage read the Prayer presented by Ipswich City Council to the Prayer for Peace Concert in Nerima City, Tokyo Japan on 14 March 2012: On the occasion of the 19th Prayer for Peace Concert being held in the Nerima Cultural Centre on the evening of Wednesday 14 March 2012, it is a pleasure for me to send a message of peace, friendship and hope to my friend and Mayoral colleague of our long-time sister city, Nerima in Japan. As you gather with your Assemblymen and the people of Nerima to pray for worldwide peace, do so in the knowledge that the thoughts and prayers of my City Councillors and the people of Ipswich go with this message after a year of great challenges across the world. Both Japan and Australia have faced incredible natural challenges during the last 12 months, and continue to deal with the aftermath of an earthquake followed by a tsunami and devastating flooding respectively. Personally I look back on 2011 with a mixture of pride and sadness – sadness at the tragic loss of life and devastation which occurred, but also with overwhelming pride as our communities banded together while the international community came together to support both our countries as we triumphed over adversity. While there is still a long way to go on the road to full recovery, I have no doubt that with time and by us working together, this will be achieved. Mayor SHIMURA, as you gather with your community on Wednesday evening 14 March 2012 the thoughts and prayers of the Ipswich community here in Australia will be with you at the Nerima ‘Prayer for Peace’ Concert, united in their desire for a brighter and more prosperous future worldwide.
