We are delighted to announce that the annual IJA Chairperson’s Lunch will take place in early November at an iconic Dublin city centre venue.

.

This year’s lunch will be a particularly memorable occasion as we celebrate the Commendation of the Foreign Minister of Japan (read more here!), recently awarded to the Ireland Japan Association. This prestigious honour recognises individuals and organisations that have made significant contributions to strengthening economic, cultural, and educational ties with Japan – a milestone we are deeply proud to share with our members and partners.

In addition to this celebration, the event will provide a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and explore new ways to build even stronger partnerships for the future.

.

We are also very pleased to announce that Ivana Bacik TD, Leader of the Labour Party, will join us as Guest Speaker for this special occasion.
