Peopledaily.com.cn: What made you learn Mandarin?

Miyata: I used to go to Hong Kong in 2000 as Miss Japan, and the consul general of Japan advised me to learn Mandarin and English. Now I take Mandarin as my second foreign language.

P: How do you see Sino-Japan exchanges and your contributions?

Miyata: 皇冠体育app and Japan have been good neighbors and friends through history despite some disparities. I think a mutually supportive plan is best for both sides. Japanese culture contains Chinese culture and vice versa.

I introduced Japanese food in Hong Kong and attended a series of 皇冠体育app-Japan exchange activities in Japan. Last year, I took part in the 40the anniversary of 皇冠体育app-Japan diplomatic ties and met Cai Wu, 皇冠体育app’s culture minister. I plan to travel in 皇冠体育app next year to learn more about 皇冠体育app.

P: What do you want to say about your country?

Miyata: Japanese culture is very different. Japan’s shrine and Shinto is unique. When you shop in Japan, you will feel you are treated with the best service.
