For lasting world peace (1)

 Next year, ISPS Handa New Zealand Open will be held, sponsored by ISPS(The International Sports Promotion Society) itself.  This is in line with an open-ended partnership the ISPS entered into the PGA(Professional Golfers' Association) Tour of Australia this summer.
 After an awards ceremony for the ISPS Handa World Blind Golf Championships that was held at Shinrinkoen Golf Club in Yorii, Saitama Prefecture, Dr.Handa, ISPS Chairman, said, "By holding a unique tournament in which golfers compete, we can have a positive influence in not only sports, but also on the economies of the two countries...There will be 25 Japanese golfers(in the ISPS Handa New Zealand Open) as we extended a partnership contract with the Japan Golf Tour Organization."
 Then, Ian Kennedy, former New Zealand ambassador to Japan and the special representative of Japan for New Zealand, and Michael Glading, the ISPS Handa New Zealand Open tournament director, expressed their hopes of the two countries' bonds getting together through golf. 
 Kennedy said in fluent Japanese, "I hope it will lead to more active human interaction not only in golf, but also other things." And Glading added, "I believe Japan is a country that has similar values as New Zealand and golf creates bonds."
