Makoto Gonokami 五神 真

Dear Mr. Hassan Jameel,

First of all, please allow me to congratulate you on the 75 years of Abdul Latif Jameel and the philanthropic activities of your family.

This is quite an impressive accomplishment.  I particularly respect Community Jameel’s philanthropy in supporting academia to alleviate world poverty.  I would like to express our deep appreciation of what you have done for us as a member of UTokyo Global Advisory Board.  We are very grateful that you have contributed quite a [great] deal for the University of Tokyo.  I trust that Abdul Latif Jameel will reach to new heights in the coming days.

The University of Tokyo is also working hard to achieve the SDGs [UN Sustainable Development Goals] as much as possible and we like to make our university more inclusive.  We are particularly encouraging innovative research collaboration across different disciplines within and between universities. I am very happy to be able to reassure you that we share the fundamental goals on how universities can contribute more to making our society better and sustainable. I greatly appreciate your generosity and continuous support for us. There will be no doubt that our relationship will continue to thrive.

Last but not the least, I would like to say that 2020 is not just a corporate anniversary, it is an anniversary of an awesome journey led by a group with brave spirit of philanthropy.

I feel honored to be able to celebrate such epochal event of the 75th Anniversary with you. All members of the University of Tokyo wish you a prosperous future to come.  Once again, congratulations!

Yours sincerely,

Makoto Gonokami
President , The University of Tokyo
