JEDDAH: The secretary-general of the Muslim
World League (MWL), Mohammed bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, who is also the president
of the International Islamic Halal Organization, has made an exclusive
distribution agreement with Japan. Under the agreement, MWL will be the
exclusive provider in Japan, generally, and in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games,
particularly, of halal-certified meals. The signing ceremony was attended by
Mitsuhiro Miyakoshi, special adviser to the Japanese prime minister, and Prince
Hiroyoshi, the cousin of the Emperor, along with a number of representatives of
Islamic centers, Japanese authorities and major companies. The agreement grants MWL the right to
regulate, in cooperation with the Japanese government, halal foods and services
to the highest standards. It will also certify the products and
services in accordance with the halal and hygienic standards before they reach
the consumers. MWL will also issue halal certification for products designated
to Muslim communities in Japan or those to be exported abroad, especially to
Arab and Muslim countries. Japan is a new but sharply growing halal
market as the country’s producers are seeking fresh opportunity in the halal
sector and striving to seek new local and international markets, especially now
that Japan is the officially designated venue for the 2020 Olympics, attracting
Muslim tourists from all around the world. In his address, Al-Issa stressed the
importance of this cooperation between MWL and Japan. And he hailed the highest
levels of coexistence, national integration and harmony pervasive across all
religions, sects, and races, away from extremism, as well as the human values
and ethics deeply instilled within the Japanese people. Meanwhile, Dr. Noka Miyagima, CEO of the
NGOs, regarded the signing of this agreement as a historic and empowering event
for Japan. He also expressed thanks and appreciation to the numerous social
contributions of MWL, wishing further cooperation in the future through the
halal project. He also praised the role the League is
playing in raising the awareness of Muslim communities in Japan and in the
Islamic world, and promoting their integration into non-Muslim communities. Al-Issa participated earlier in a ceremony
held to mark the seventh anniversary of the tsunami that hit Sendai city,
northern Japan, in 2011 and visited the Sendai School for Orphans, which
shelters children who had lost their parents in the tsunami. He also visited, accompanied by members of the League, the Hiroshima Museum, where he examined documents of the atomic bomb dropped on the city.
