Mahathir Mohamad Instagram – My visit to Shizuoka was a wonderful experience. I was impressed with the advancements made in the field of agriculture and the high quality products. I am eager to learn how the Japanese are able to consistently improve their product quality over the years, particularly in producing the incredibly delicious melons that I had the pleasure of tasting. I believe it would be mutually beneficial for Malaysia and Japan to work together in this area and improve the quality of our own products. I also had the opportunity at making soba with the locals. It was an unforgettable experience. Working alongside the people there and learning their traditional methods of soba-making was both enlightening and enjoyable. I would like to thank Governor Kawakatsu Heita for his warm hospitality and for taking the time to show us around the farms.
