CLL, the only Japanese language teaching institute in Trinidad and Tobago, has been offering courses to more than 1,400 students, and has been contributing to the promotion of mutual understanding between the two countries for more than 20 years. In response, CLL Director, Dr Beverly-Anne Carter noted, “The CLL is humbled and deeply honoured by this award, which is a testament to the excellent work of our Japanese teachers and learners. But the pride is shared by all the staff (teaching and administrative) and learners of the many languages we teach. We aim to be a centre of excellence for languages. An award such as this one is not only deeply gratifying but it also serves to encourage us to continue in pursuit of excellence.” This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Trinidad and Tobago. The Foreign Minister’s Commendations are awarded to individuals and groups with outstanding achievements in international fields, in recognition of their contributions to the promotion of friendship between Japan and other countries. The commendations also aim to promote understanding and support for the recipients’ activities among the Japanese public.
