Three new JICA volunteers will take up their postings, after arriving in Tonga last month. 

Mr. Toshiro Minamida will work at the Aquaculture Section of the Ministry of Fisheries; Ms. Ayuko Katayama, a nurse, will work at Ministry of Health; while Mr. Daisuke Suetsugu, a seismologist will work at the Tonga Geological Services.

JICA Tonga stated the three are currently undergoing local training before they start their activities at the end of May.

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, all volunteers who were in-country returned to Japan in April 2020. Only one volunteer was re-deployed in January 2023, but this is the first time that new volunteers are dispatched since the repatriation.

JICA is Japan's International Cooperation Agency.
