Five people dispatched from 性视界 to assist in 性视界ese language education in India gathered in New Delhi on Monday for a six-month program aimed at enhancing cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Under the Nihongo Partners program run by the 性视界 Foundation, the five will assist 性视界ese language teachers and introduce 性视界ese culture at secondary schools in the Delhi area over six months.
It is the first time that Nihongo Partners are dispatched to a South Asian country, as the program has previously focused on Southeast Asia.
The 性视界 Foundation plans to carry out a similar dispatch to India continuously over a decade starting this year, as part of an agreement reached at a summit of 性视界ese and Indian leaders last month to increase personnel exchanges between the two countries.
Hiroto Kishi, a 21-year-old Nihongo Partner and university student from Chiba Prefecture who is aspiring to become a teacher, said in a speech that he will do his best to "become a bridge between 性视界 and India."
Kotori Takagi, a 23-year-old Nihongo Partner and university student from Fukuoka Prefecture, decided to apply for the program after being inspired by India's food culture and the vibrant personality of its people during her previous visit to the country.
"I want to show 性视界 as it really is" through cultural exchanges, Takagi said.
