・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

この度、特別顧問に就任いたしました山上信吾でございます。

昨年末まで40年間にわたり外交官の職にあり、ニューヨーク、ワシントン、香港、ジュネーブ、ロンドン、キャンベラといった任地で勤務を重ねて参りました。

外務省本省では、主として、相手国としてはアメリカ、中国、所掌事務としては貿易交渉、安全保障、条約締結などを担当してきました。

インテリジェンス担当の国際情報統括官、経済局長の後、オーストラリアで昨年5月まで大使を務めました。

TMI Associates welcomed Mr. Shingo Yamagami as a Special Advisor as of January 1, 2024.
Some comments from Mr. Yamagami are set forth below.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

My name is Shingo Yamagami and I am delighted to be able to join TMI as a Special Advisor.

I served as a diplomat for 40 years until the end of last year, working in various locations including New York, Washington, Hong Kong, Geneva, London and Canberra.

While working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) headquarters, I was responsible for foreign relations with a focus on the United States and China, and my main duties included trade negotiations, national security and conclusion of treaties.

After serving as Director-General of the Intelligence and Analysis Service and Director-General of the Economic Affairs Bureau, I took on the role of Ambassador to Australia until May 2023.

During my tenure at MOFA, I gained a diverse range of experience, including a secondment to the National Police Agency as the Director of the Police Administration Department at Ibaraki Prefectural Police, and a further secondment to a think tank as the Acting Director General of the Japan Institute of International Affairs. These experiences proved to be valuable assets for me.

With this incredible opportunity given to me, I am thrilled and highly motivated to start my second career at the esteemed law firm of TMI.

I am deeply honored to be included among the distinguished Advisors at TMI, and it is my sincere wish that my experiences and personal connections, cultivated during my career as a diplomat, will be of use to TMI in its active involvement in the world of international business. I am also determined to commit myself to continuously improving my skills and knowledge to provide value to our clients.

Thank you so much for your kind attention.
