Former Japanese Ambassador to Canada Kensaku Hogen to address CCCJ members
It is perhaps fitting that the final official posting of Ambassador Kensaku Hogen’s distinguished diplomatic career was as Japan’s Ambassador to Canada from 2001 to 2005, a country for which he had developed great affection and admiration. It was his second tour of duty posted in Ottawa during a stellar diplomatic and governmental career that took him around the world and back including being assigned as; the UN Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information under Kofi Annan, head of the Press and Information Department at the Embassy of Japan in Washington, D.C.
