Dear Mr. Hasegawa,

Thank you for your response. Please be assured, that the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia is interested to conduct handover ceremony in appropriate manner and ensure high publicity of Japanese grant project, but as I mentioned before, visiting “Universal Medical Center” with the representatives of media is not advantageous and there is no sense to postpone this event, since the renovation process which is in progress in medical center might be prolonged for 2 years. 

In view of that, we can propose the following option regarding media coverage of Japanese grant project:

Representatives of MoLHSA (including PR Department, cameraman) and Embassy of Japan will visit “Universal Medical Center” to observe the operation of granted medical equipment and make short video in order to provide media with this information. 
Then, we can schedule meeting at the National Training Center, where the Minister and H.E. Ambassador will deliver short speeches about the project, which will be followed by reviewing of defibrillators in emergency car.
On the basis of the mentioned activities, the Media will make one short story about Japanese grant project that will be shown on TV.

If such an option is acceptable to you please, let me know in order to arrange further organizational issues.

Thank you once again for cooperation.

Sincerely,

Sopo Belkania

Dear Ms. Sopo,

Thank you for your reply.
I understand the situation. It is very important that we see the real equipment, not the photos. So, maybe we can wait until the completion of construction work  of the Universal medical center?

With best regards,
Tomonori Hasegawa, Embassy of Japan

Dear Mr. Hasegawa,

Sorry for the late reply, I have to inform you that the Universal medical center (JSC) is under construction and it won't be so attractive for the media opportunity, so we propose to do the Hand-over ceremony  in our National Training Centre (Training Center, 12 km, David Aghmashenebeli
Alley) on April 25th at 11:00.  The representative of Universal Medical Center will provide short presentation with photos, which will be followed by viewing defibrillators in emergency car (ambulance). 

Please let us know if this scenario suits you and we will send you detailed agenda and visitors list.

Should you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Sopo Belkania

Dear Ms. Sopo,

It was nice meeting you yesterday.
I checked the availability of Ambassador Kaitani. The days starting from 25th April is good for us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
