October 12^th, 2023    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a Japanese book donation ceremony to Vytautas Magnus University Komaru Library (the Republic of Lithuania) on October 10 at Embassy of Lithuania in Japan. Since the opening of the Komaru Library in 2019, we have donated approximately 600 Japanese books for Japanese language education. Through the Komaru Library, we will continue to offer a good place for mutual exchange between students, further deepen understanding, and strengthen friendly relations between the Republic of Lithuania and Japan.

President Komaru was appointed as the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Lithuania in Fukuyama in January 2017 and the Honorary Consul General in February 2021. Through such projects as a goodwill visit to Lithuania on Japan's first direct flight by chartered airplane, he is promoting cultural and academic exchanges in addition to the economic field. He will continue to make efforts for the stable development of both countries by further deepening interaction in a wide range of fields, such as culture and personnel.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was established on September 9, 2013, to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in schools across Japan and carrying out educational activities to prevent traffic accidents. Furthermore, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students overseas studying Japanese to present the results of their studies and organizing Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and promote cultural exchange with Japan.
