In hopes of bridging the language gap between Japan and her country, Reko Dida, 47, created a Japanese-Albanian dictionary this spring — the first such dictionary for the southeastern European nation.
Dida, the wife of Albanian Ambassador to Japan Bujar Dida, 51, said she hopes her 13,000-word dictionary will help the two countries build a stronger relationship.
The Japanese-Albanian dictionary was produced in April in cooperation with the Japan Foundation and a nonprofit organization called Japan Return Program, among others.
