Message from the president

Introductoin

Respresentative Director

My name is Kazemi Mohammadhossein of the Japan Iran Association. I have been living in Japan for 32 years and live in Japan with my wife and two children.

In addition to selling carpets and working as a public interpreter for government offices, I am now engaged in Persian home cooking restaurant management and trade relations.

I have always wanted to promote cultural exchange between Japan and Iran, so since I started living in Japan, I have been involved in various volunteer activities and participated in international exchange events. In order to expand these activities, we established the Japan-Iran Friendship Association (voluntary organization) in October 2017 and have been engaged in private-sector exchange activities to contribute to peace and mutual understanding. However, since voluntary organizations have limited activities, we established the “Japan Iran Association” in January 2022.
