Japan’s Ambassador to Ankara, Katsumata Takahiko, visited Hatay, which was affected by the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, and examined the relief efforts in the region. As part of his program, Ambassador Katsumata visited the donation of containers organized by MOL Turkey with the support of Japanese companies and local stakeholders.

These containers, set up in the Kırıkhan district of Hatay, were donated to provide temporary living and business spaces for tradespeople and families affected by the earthquake. Ambassador Katsumata met with the tradespeople operating in the containers, gathered information about their business processes, and listened to the challenges they faced.

MOL Turkey continues to support the recovery process in the region in line with the spirit of strong cooperation between Japan and Turkey. In this context, the container donation carried out through the joint efforts of Japanese companies and the local Hatay community contributes to the reconstruction of the lives of those affected by the earthquake.
