Philippine Secretary of Science and Technology Mario G. Montejo and his delegation visited the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) on 27 June 2014.
JMA maintains favorable relations with the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysics and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), both of which are under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
The visitors met a JMA management group led by Noritake Nishide, the Director-General of the organization, and exchanged views on future collaboration in the field of meteorological services.
The attendees were given a tour of JMA's operational centers and attended a series of presentations by JMA experts on the Agency's cutting-edge activities and related matters in areas such as meteorological observation, weather forecasting and warnings, marine weather information, and information on earthquake, tsunami and volcanic activity.
