MINUTES OF ORDINARY MEETING 25 AUGUST 2015

Dear Mayor Paul Pisasale, Mayor of the City of Ipswich,

Dear all Ipswich City Councillors, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation for the message you kindly sent this year for the 23rd Nerima Prayer for Peace Concert. This concert is held every year in the hopes that it will offer the people of Nerima an occasion to appreciate and think about world peace through the appreciation of music which is a universal language. I feel very grateful that last year I had the honour of welcoming you and the Ipswich Delegation so that we could celebrate the 20th anniversary of the signing and renewing of the friendship city agreement. For over twenty years, citizens of Nerima and Ipswich have been deepening their friendship, especially through youth exchanges. The experience of young people of both cities having to feel and learn each other’s different culture not only enriched their lives, but it also provided them the opportunity to understand the international society we live in today, and nourished a sense of respect for one another. These experiences will undoubtedly make a great contribution to peace and security for future generations. I am convinced that continuing these exchanges for many years to come will surely strengthen our resolve to realize a peaceful global society. Mayor Paul Pisasale, Assemblymen and the citizens of Ipswich, let us keep working hand in hand for our peaceful society.

PRAYER FOR PEACE – MAYOR OF CITY OF IPSWICH

Councillor Bromage read the Prayer for Peace presented by Ipswich City Council to the Prayer for Peace Concert in Nerima City, Tokyo, Japan on 7 August 2015.

Our city has turned to gorgeous pallets of yellow, brown and gold as it cools for the autumn months. As Mayor of the City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, I send a message of peace and friendship to the People of Nerima, your Mayor Akio Maekawa and Assemblymen. It is a joy to reflect the past years. We have celebrated for more than 20 years our relationship with Nerima and our sister city relationship has continued to blossom into a strong bond of friendship. Its success is founded on the engagement of our young people in exchange and I am looking forward to hosting your junior high school delegates in July. We are thankful our young people are able to connect with our sister city. Our future leaders have a unique opportunity to meet, collaborate, and seek to understand those who are different to themselves. This bodes well for our future peace. Let us agree to continue to support these exchanges as the unique cultural and learning experiences.

We have felt pain at the turmoil and suffering in our close region. Ipswich has stood to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. We regret that history shows the world can so easily sleep-walk into confusion and war. It is only through the continuous and conscientious engagement in friendship, forgiveness, understanding and tolerance that we can ever hope for peace. Ipswich sends it thoughts and prayers to Nerima for the 23rd Prayer for Peace concert on 7 August 2015.
