Reports
【Reflection】
We disseminated infectious disease countermeasure recommendations from experts and held discussions on these measures with university students who will lead the next generation. We believe that we effectively communicated the importance of preparing for future pandemics.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Through discussions with infectious disease experts, we will communicate to society, via NIKKEI media, the role Japan should play in the global community.
