'We are two peace loving nations': Taoiseach meets Japanese PM ahead of new embassy opening
IT'S BEEN THREE years since Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited Japan and this time around his message in Tokyo is that both Ireland and Japan are two 'peace loving' nations. In a time when Europe has kicked to touch taking any action against Israel over its breach of its EU trade agreement, simply stating that it will look at the matter again in a number of weeks, the Taoiseach used his meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to state that the two countries' friendship is anchored in its 'shared values and commitment to democracy' . More importantly Martin noted that both Ireland and Japan are also committed 'to an international rules based order'. The Taoiseach has been at pains to highlight in recent times how international law and organisations such as the UN that seek to uphold them are being eroded. On the final day of his visit this week, the Taoiseach will travel to Hiroshima, where he will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph to mark 80 years since the atomic bombing. The current geopolitical threats in the world are not lost on the Taoiseach during his visit to Japan. Martin told the prime minister today that both countries agree with 'avoiding war and conflict at all costs'. Advertisement Speaking ahead of his visit to Hiroshima this week, Martin said he will remember those who suffered and he will meet survivors. 'I am going there in all solemnity to reflect our commitment to nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation,' he said. Martin also said he is looking forward to officially opening Ireland House, which will house the new Irish embassy in Tokyo. 'Three years ago I dug the sod, and now I'll see the finished building, it is beautiful,' he said. Taoiseach meets Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba DFA DFA It is the biggest capital spend by the state outside of Ireland, with a budget of €21 million. The grand opening will be marked with a reception later today. The Japanese prime minister congratulated the Taoiseach on the newly built building which he said will serve as a hub for Japan-Ireland exchanges. 'Toward the year 2027, which marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of our diplomatic relationship, we would like to advance a wide-ranging concrete cooperation in such areas as security, economy, agriculture, digital, cultural and people-to-people exchanges – thereby developing our bilateral relationship even further,' said the prime minister.

Taoiseach and Japanese prime minister pledge to deepen economic and trade links
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba have pledged to deepen economic and trade links between Ireland and Japan. Mr Ishiba met with Mr Martin in the Kantei in Tokyo on Wednesday, noting it was the Taoiseach's fifth time visiting Japan. He welcomed that Japan was the first Asian country Mr Martin had opted to visit since his re-election as Taoiseach. Mr Ishiba said the 70th anniversary of Japanese-Irish diplomatic links was coming up in 2027, adding that he hoped the two countries could further deepen their relationship in the future. 'We would like to advance a wide-ranging concrete cooperation in such areas as security, economy, agriculture, digital, cultural and people-to-people exchanges — thereby developing our bilateral relationship even further,' Mr Ishiba said. He also congratulated the opening of Ireland House, the new site of the Irish Embassy in Tokyo, with an official opening ceremony due to take place on Wednesday evening. In his opening remarks, the Taoiseach thanked Mr Ishiba for the warm welcome and said it was a 'great pleasure' to return to Tokyo to discuss the Ireland-Japan relationship. 'Our country's friendship is anchored in shared values and outlook, shared and outstanding commitment to democracy, to an international rules-based order, to good trading relationships and to strong economic partnership,' Mr Martin said. We have very strong cultural, education and people-to-people relationships, and my visit this week reflects that. Mr Martin said he was looking forward to formally opening Ireland House, having turned the sod three years previous. The Taoiseach said he would be visiting Expo 2025 in Osaka, before travelling to Hiroshima on Friday to reflect on the fact Ireland and Japan 'are good, peace-loving nations'. 'We believe in avoiding war and conflict at all costs. I want to remember those who suffered and I will meet survivors. I am going there in all solemnity to reflect our commitment to nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation,' he said. Ahead of their meeting, the 302nd Military Police played both the anthems of Ireland and Japan, before Mr Ishiba and Mr Martin inspected the colour party.

Industries want to be part of the conversation on US tariffs
The threat of tariffs is having an impact on Irish businesses, and the uncertainty is leaving many in limbo. At Elis Cleanroom in Co Offaly, they describe themselves as "the canary in the mine". It is, according to the sales manager Bernard Flynn, "a good barometer of what is happening in the industry". The company which has a base in Birr, Co Offaly and in Glanmire, Co Cork, provides specialist laundry services both sterile and non-sterile, to companies which work in controlled environments, including the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. "Our service is a very vital service to the pharma and medical device sector so we're right there at the core," Mr Flynn said. "If they sneeze, we get a cold, essentially. "So we need to, or we would like to know, what's going to happen and we would like some stability and some certainty". In the cleanroom section of the business, Elis employ 100 people, while overall, the company employs around 1,300 people in Ireland. "For last ten years we've had double digit growth," said Mr Flynn. He added that to continue growing, more customers are needed. "Year on year, it's been fantastic but the big news now is there has been no news and by that, I mean we've had no announcements of new builds in the last ten months. "We currently have two brownfield sites being built - Astellas in Tralee, Co Kerry, and Dexcom in Athenry, Co Galway. Outside of that, there have been absolutely no announcements. "At the moment, things are holding steady but we would like to see a stimulus, something to help us and to give us some clarity, because we're part of a bigger organisation". Without growth, Mr Flynn said, investment is uncertain. "Elis is a worldwide organisation, and we have to report back. We get investment based on the future and the growth of the company. "We've had great investment, year on year on year, but we need to be able to show that there's something coming in the future, in order to continue that investment into our two plants here. "There's nothing as bad as not knowing". He added that the industry hopes Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke will work with them to work out the tariffs, whatever they may be. "We need to work to help reduce the costs for companies and be part of the conversation, so that we can continue to keep employment going," he said.
