Lai urges closer Taiwan-Japan humanitarian ties on Tohoku quake anniversary
Posted on 2026-03-11 18:46:14
President Lai Ching-te on Wednesday marked the 15th anniversary of the 2011
Tohoku earthquake and tsunami ...

... calling for continued Taiwan–Japan cooperation on disaster prevention
and humanitarian assistance.

In a social media post, Lai said Taiwan and Japan have consistently supported
each other following major disasters.

After the magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck northeastern Japan in 2011, Taiwan
provided large-scale donations, relief supplies and rescue teams within 72
hours.

Lai also noted that Japan sent an assessment team within 14 hours to assist
Taiwan after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck southern Taiwan in 2016.

He said these efforts will deepen bilateral ties, bringing the two countries
even closer as regional partners.
