Mina-sama, ohayou gozaimasu! Good morning, everyone. I would like to begin by greeting President Luiz Nishimori, in whose person I greet all the Brazilian nikkeis present, and also Mr. Ishigaki, in whose person I greet all the Japanese people and Japanese authorities present.
First, I want to congratulate the Japanese on the performance of the Japan national team, which I think was already superior to that of the Brazilian national team.
I think that is a reason for joy. Noguchi-san and Akira-san, a former Ambassador, always say that their dream is for Japan to meet Brazil in the World Cup final.

About: advance negotiations of a free trade agreement between Japan and Mercosur
Unfortunately, because of the draw, that will not be possible. I want to express my happiness about the recent progress — small, but important — that we have had in the negotiations of the Japan-Mercosur free trade agreement.
About: advance negotiations of a free trade agreement between Japan and Mercosur
Last week I had the opportunity to be the Rapporteur of the Free Trade Agreement between Mercosur and Singapore, and I, despite being President of the Brazil-Singapore Parliamentary Front, would be happier if our agreements with Japan advanced more rapidly than the agreements with ASEAN.
I think we have much stronger ties.
Moreover, I believe that, from a diplomatic point of view, there is no country that has stronger ties with Brazil than Japan, because they are human ties, the most precious that can exist.
Every year we commemorate the anniversary of Japanese immigration.
I don't need to say it — everyone here already knows — the entire trajectory of hard work and suffering our ancestors went through to build all this.
We know the extremely relevant role the nikkei community has in Brazil today, from an economic standpoint, a political standpoint and also a media standpoint.
We have several nikkei journalists occupying prominent positions.
And it would make me very happy if we could make progress in that direction.
About: advance negotiations of a free trade agreement between Japan and Mercosur
I think it would be an extremely beneficial agreement for both Brazil and Japan, because our economies are complementary.
Both countries — I must be honest here as well — are going through difficulties.
I was in Japan in January, together with Deputy Aihara, and had the opportunity to meet my Japanese family in Nagano Prefecture, in the town of Iijima.
- Neutral
About: adopt policies to mitigate population decline, including incentives for childbirth and immigration
I was able to see the situation. I think one of the main problems Japan faces today is the decline in population.
- Neutral
About: adopt policies to increase entry of foreign workers
The economy is in great need of external labor and has difficulty continuing to advance, especially compared with its peers in Asia.
- Neutral
About: reorient economic policy to stimulate productive investment and reduce financialization
Brazil is going through difficulties we all know: the rise of our public debt, rising inflation expectations, and structural productivity problems over the last 40 years.
About: strengthen bilateral partnership with Japan
In that sense, every year I make a point of reinforcing the need to strengthen the partnership between our two countries so that we can move forward.
I want to share a personal story about a very Japanese characteristic.
Although I'm sansei, I think certain values end up being passed down regardless of the generation.
I've always liked the Portuguese language a lot. I remember that, in 4th grade, Deputy Aihara, I took part in a verb conjugation competition.
I came home happy and went to tell my father: "Dad, I did well in the verb conjugation contest."
And he said: "That's great, son! Was it first place?" I answered: "No, Dad.
I was second." He looked at me and said: "Ah!" I commented on that episode with one of my sisters, who told me something that stuck with me a lot, which I think is very characteristic: "That pressure from our father was his way of showing love for us; it was his way of showing that he wanted all of us to try as hard as possible, so that when we grew up we could succeed, so that when we grew up we could have given our best at school, have gotten as many perfect 10s as possible."
My father gave me 1 real for every 10 I got.
A 9.9 wasn't enough. I think that's very representative, because sometimes one doesn't understand the pressure, one doesn't understand the demand to give one's absolute best, but I think that, from a Japanese point of view, it is one of the ways of showing affection, especially within the family, so that each person has the potential to show much more of what they are capable of.
That was my father's way of showing love.
I have three older sisters. One of them, in fact, lived in Nagano until recently.
I think that worked for my three sisters.
I was the only one who wasn't successful and had to become a politician.
(Laughter.) One is an engineer, another is a business administrator, another is a visual artist.
Jokes aside, I think these values are passed from generation to generation and are very striking in the history of immigration in Brazil.
I wanted to thank everyone for being here and wish a happy anniversary, so to speak, to immigration.
About: strengthen bilateral partnership with Japan
It has been 118 years of Japanese immigration. May our ties and our diplomatic, commercial and, above all, human relations be as fruitful as possible!
May we have a long life! I often say that relations between Brazil and Japan are the best diplomatic relations we have, because, depending on our President and depending on the prime ministers, the heads of state and government in Europe, for example, we sometimes have stormy relations with European leaders, depending on who leads Brazil and who leads the European countries.
Now, regardless of that, throughout all these years — and we celebrated the Brazil-Japan Treaty of Friendship not long ago — regardless of who has governed Brazil in the last 100 years, regardless of who has governed Japan in the last 100 years, our relations have always been good. Our relations have always been state-to-state relations; they have endured governments and survived the different ideological positions of those governments.
About: strengthen bilateral partnership with Japan
We have a unique opportunity at this moment to strengthen our ties even further. Thank you all.
