 On February 3rd, the JICA Swing Bridge Replacement Preparatory Survey Team visited the Embassy and reported the progress of the survey to Ambassador Shirakata.

 The survey is being conducted through to November 2025 by JICA to investigate the technical and economic feasibility and socio-economic impacts of the Swing Bridge replacement project. The Swing Bridge was built in 1923 and the Government of Belize requested assistance from JICA in replacing it due to its severe deterioration.
