Japan’s Ambassador to South Sudan says he remains ‘cautiously optimistic’ about the peace process and is closely monitoring developments as his country continues to support the process.

Japan last week announced a contribution of 1 million US dollars towards the work of the National Pre-Transitional Committee, becoming the first international partner to make a financial contribution.

Speaking on the Miraya Breakfast Show this morning, Ambassador Seiji Okada said their contribution is to ‘push’ for more progress.
