“We are confident that the nation of Japan as a whole will overcome the damage caused by the earthquake and tsunamis and achieve a recovery,” Councilor of the Embassy of Japan to Moldova based in Kiev Hiromi Nakano said in response to Info-Prim Neo's inquiry about the situation in his country following the March 11 powerful quake. “We express our sincere gratitude for the warm words in regard to the Tohohu district, off the Pacific Ocean Earthquake. We have received a truly great number messages of consolation and support from Moldova and other countries. The Government of Japan appreciates this support with which it is now trying to overcome the biggest crisis in our nation's history since World War II,” it is said in the Embassy's response message. “There are two major problems facing us now. The first is the damage from the massive earthquake and tsunamis, and the second is the serious nuclear power station accident caused by the earthquake and tsunamis,” said the Japanese diplomat. “The people of Japan have reacted calmly to the situation, helping each other and cooperating in the efforts to overcome the conditions they face. Without any doubt, this is a moment of true crisis for Japan and a true test for the Japanese people. Despite the earthquake and tsunami, it is vital that we do not give in to despondency,” Hiromi Nakano stated for Info-Prim Neo.
