TOKYO, Japan -

Japan has used a 30-second message on CNN to thank countries who sent rescue teams and aid and offered moral support in the aftermath of its devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

"Thank you, to all of you who understood," says the voiceover of the message on the news channel, as images are shown of foreign rescue crews, civilian aid efforts and a children's picture with the words "We are with you".

"Thank you, to all our friends around the world who came at a moment's notice and to all your families who in turn supported you," it continues.

"Your help is greatly appreciated, and we draw strength from the friendship you extend as we start to rebuild our lives. For this, the people of Japan thank you -- personally. From us to you. Arigato gozaimasu (thank you)."
