2022/3/30
On March 28, Ambassador Shimokawa delivered a speech at a face-to-face event of the Belgium-Japan Association & Chamber of Commerce (BJA) Spring Celebration, which was attended by about 70 people, mainly business people from both Japan and Belgium. In his remarks, Ambassador Shimokawa made the observation that even in the uncertain international situation, the value of the Belgium’s exports to Japan increased significantly in 2021, and expressed his expectation that the Belgian Economic Mission to Japan to be led by Her Highness Princess Astrid in December this year, will create further business opportunities.
Due to the sanitary regulations, such in-person event by BJA was the first in about two years, and many Belgian officials also participated in this event, which provided the best networking opportunity for all participants. We thank BJA for their efforts and the Embassy will continue to collaborate closely with them.
