PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL
|
The first President of the Foundation |
Peace and prosperity for mankind have been my lifelong desires. I am extremely pleased, therefore, that the Japan Prize has been established with the specific goal of making some contribution on behalf of Japan to the development of international society.
The progress of modern science and technology has been phenomenal. It is not overstating its role to say that we owe the civilization we enjoy today to this very progress.
On the other hand, however, there are still many global problems which remain to be solved, and the necessity to seek the counsel of many people is greater than ever before.
Under such circumstances, it is appropriate that Japan, in consultation with the international community, honors, those who have produced outstanding achievements in the fields of science and technology.
It is my sincere hope that the Japan Prize achieves the recognition it deserves.
