In October 2002, a delegation consisting of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Executive Committee (Dr Afolabi and Ambassador Inomata) and the Chief Officer of the Multilateral Fund Secretariat (Dr Omar El Arini) visited Tokyo, Japan for high-level discussions. They also took the time to interact with students and officials on 8 October at the United Nations University, as well as a face-to-face meeting with a Japanese NGO involved in ozone protection awareness raising, JASON. The following streaming videos present some of the highlights of the UNU and JASON sessions.
