Ljubljana – Japanese Ambassador to Slovenia, Akiko Yoshida, has described the recent bestowal of the Great Golden Star Order as a “historic milestone,” reflecting the growing relationship between Japan and Slovenia. The award recognizes significant contributions to the advancement of bilateral relations. The honor was presented in recognition of efforts undertaken during the tenure of Slovenia’s Prime Minister Miro Cerar, between 2014 and 2018.
During this period, numerous activities fostered closer ties between the two nations.
