Haiku Posted by Commissioner Georgieva
Haiku Post-Box Ceremony, July 25 2012.
On 25th July, Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, the Member of the European Commission in charge of International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, visited Mr. Kojiro Shiojiri, Head of the Mission of Japan to the EU, and posted her Haiku poems into the Haiku Post.
On this occasion, Ms. Georgieva and Mr. Shiojiri talked about in particular her visit to Japan in March 2011, just after Great East Japan Earthquake, and her recent participation to the World Ministerial Conference on Disaster Reduction in Tohoku held on July 2012.
Ms. Georgieva’s two Haiku poems inspired by her visits to Japan are here:
When I came in Spring
The land was in great turmoil
Together we healMet Japan’s heroes
Saw fortified and courage
Has inspired my life
