  Jiro Hanyu
President, Japan International Transport Institute

 Before becoming President of JITI in August of 2002, Mr. Hanyu had served as an official of the Japanese government for more than 33 years. He has held various important positions including Vice-Minister for Transport and International Affairs.

When the Ministerial Conference -A New Challenge for Environmentally Friendly Transport- was held in Tokyo in January 2002, he played a leading role in adopting the Ministerial Declaration on Transport and the Environment and the Transport Ministers’ Statements on “Prevention of Marine Pollution”, “Urban Transport and Environment” and “Comprehensive Strategy for Environmentally Friendly Vehicles.” Under his leadership, the development of environmentally friendly heavy duty vehicles including the DME truck started.

From 1994 to 1998, Mr. Hanyu served as the Deputy Director-General, and later as the Senior Deputy Director-General of the Civil Aviation Bureau. Mr. Hanyu took the lead in concluding the 1998 Memorandum of Understanding, an historic aviation agreement between Japan and the United States.

Mr. Hanyu graduated from Tokyo University in 1969 with a bachelor’s degree in economics.
