Hi everyone,
I am translating a text very similar to the one on the page below:
http://www.fly-kix.jp/association/demand.html
Concerning official requests/petitions to government bodies, is anyone aware of a particular term for 要望先, which I am guessing designates the party/organization the request/demand is addressed to?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
