Japan’s Princess Kako, a niece of Emperor Naruhito, will travel to Brazil in early June to promote ties between the two countries that this year mark 130 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the Imperial Household Agency said Tuesday.
It will be her fourth official overseas visit.
Brazil is home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan, with about 2.7 million people of Japanese descent living there, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
In 2015, Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko visited Brazil for the 120th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties.
