The investiture to honor His Majesty, King Tupou VI ten years of accession to the throne, was staged at the Royal Palace in Nuku’alofa.
He has been recognized for his contributions to Tonga.
Minoru, who is of Japanese lineage, said it was “a humbling experience for the family”.
“This is a reflection of the hard work and persistence that started with my father, Minoru Sr, and the support of farmers, family, friends and business associates throughout the years”.
