A Japanese delegation comprising New Party Daichi leader Muneo Suzuki and deputy of the Japanese Parliament’s House of Representatives Takako Suzuki visited Moscow on June 3-6.
The program of the Moscow visit envisaged numerous meetings with Russian politicians and community leaders, as well as participation in the forum “Development of Parliamentarianism.”
The conversation with First Deputy Chairperson of the State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Svetlana Zhurova addressed the project of opening the Medical Center of Russian-Japanese Friendship in Moscow on the basis of Medincenter, an affiliate of GlavUpDK under the MFA of Russia.
Muneo Suzuki told reporters about the high level of development of Japanese medical technologies and management of medical personnel and enterprises, which resulted in the average life expectancy of 81 years for Japanese men and 87 years for Japanese women. “We hope to use our know-how at the Medical Center of Russian-Japanese Friendship,” the Japanese politician said.
“Two years ago, at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe proposed an eight-point cooperation plan, the most important provision of which relates to interaction in healthcare,” he said and expressed hope that the new clinic would be a symbol of trust between the people of Russia and Japan.
Services of the Medical Center of Russian-Japanese Friendship will be accessible for all categories of citizens, Muneo Suzuki said. He added that similar clinics were operating in the Russian Far East and had proven their value, especially in the field of disease diagnostics.
