Media Advisory (Friendship Day 2020)
16 Mar 2020

In an abundance of caution taken in order to protect the health and safety of the Air Station and local Iwakuni community, MCAS Iwakuni and JMSDF FAW-31 have mutually decided to cancel Friendship Day 2020 due to concerns over COVID-19.

We greatly value our friendship with the City of Iwakuni and our host nation. Despite cancellation this year, we look forward to welcoming our local community and greater-Japan for future Friendship Days.
