🇯🇵 UKRAINE–JAPAN PARTNERSHIP AT IGOR SIKORSKY KYIV POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) welcomed a delegation of the House of Representatives of Japan, led by its Speaker Eisuke Mori, Member of the House of Representatives Masahito Moriyama, and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine Yo Osumi, together with representatives of the Embassy of Japan.
✅ For Eisuke Mori, this was his first visit to Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. It was his second visit to KPI — his first was in 2015. Masahito Moriyama also visited KPI in 2024, when he served as Japan’s Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
⚙️ One of the key topics was strengthening cooperation in engineering education and science. KPI is ready to serve as a platform connecting Ukrainian and Japanese universities and technology partners in areas essential for Ukraine’s recovery and technological development:
🔺 Energy resilience
🔺 Robotics & automation
🔺 Cybersecurity
🔺 Nuclear energy
🔺 Artificial intelligence
📌 The meeting also highlighted KPI’s role as an important center of Ukrainian–Japanese cultural and educational dialogue. This year, the KPI Ukrainian-Japanese Center celebrates its 20th anniversary. Over the years, it has developed cooperation with JICA, The Japan Foundation, Japanese universities and companies.
Among the Center’s initiatives are the “Japanese Autumn” festival, language programs and the international JLPT qualification exam.
🤝 During the visit, the delegation explored exhibitions at the State Polytechnic Museum, including “Sumo: Rikishi. Strength and Spirit,” visited the KPI Scientific & Technical Library and the Ukrainian-Japanese Center, where they viewed the “Thank You, Japan” photo exhibition and American photographer Mark Edward Harris’s exhibition “Onsen: The Journey of Purification of Body and Soul.”
🇯🇵 Thank you to Japan for its unwavering support of Ukraine.
🤝 KPI remains open to deepening Ukrainian–Japanese partnership — from education and culture to science, engineering and joint technological projects.
