The Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Headquarters: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) co-sponsored with Rangsit University and Fukuyama City University held the Second Japanese Composition Speech Contest on November 22nd at Rangsit University in Thailand.

A special sponsor of this contest is Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru).
Under the theme "transportation," ten students delivered speeches to raise traffic safety awareness in Thailand. Mr. Jiratheep Saiso from Rayongwittayakon School won a grand prize for his talk on traffic congestion in the country. He emphasized that resolving the frequent traffic jams in Thailand could lead to safer and more secure lives for the citizens.
Through a Japanese Composition Speech Contest, we will continue to raise traffic safety awareness, further deepen understanding, and strengthen friendly relations between Thailand and Japan.
The Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety and prevent accidents. The foundation conducts various traffic safety lectures in schools throughout Japan and engages in educational activities to promote road safety. Additionally, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies.
