In Aomori Prefecture, we were reminded once again, through our experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster, of the benefits of an omnidirectional maritime approach and the major advantage of our potential as a logistics center. We have formulated an "Aomori Prefecture Logistics Strategy (January 2014)" as a new scenario for economic growth drawing on this strength, with a view to creative reconstruction from the disaster. We will aim to contribute to the sustainable growth of this prefecture by maximizing this advantage, and to contribute to economic growth in the whole of Japan as an Oceanic State.
