Agreement to fund recovery projects in Tonga signed

An agreement to fund recovery projects in Tonga following the volcanic eruption and ensuing tsunami there last year has been signed in Tokyo.

The funds will go towards the construction of three community halls, and the donation of boats with outboard motors.

The agreement was signed by Tonga's ambassador to Japan, Tevita Suka Mangisi, and Takeju Ogata, the president of the Nippon Foundation.
