The Emperor delivered a speech in English. Imperial household officials say he called for global solidarity to resolve water-related issues.
Participants from more than 10 countries listened to lectures and held discussions on water hygiene and the outlook for securing a safe, clean supply around the world.
The Emperor is known for his studies on water. Officials say he eagerly took notes during the conference, which lasted more than two hours.
Good to hear that even as emperor he will remain active with a cause close to his heart.
