On 24 March, the EBC had the pleasure of attending the National Day reception hosted by H.E. Olga Kliamaki, Ambassador of Greece to Japan, at the Sumitomo Kaikan in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The event brought together a wide range of stakeholders, including representatives from the Greek Chamber of Commerce in Japan, an EBC stakeholder, chaired by Tony Andriotis, and several Greek companies active in Japan, reflecting the steady development of Greece-Japan economic ties. Trade and investment flows between the two countries continue to grow, supported by shared interests in sectors such as shipping, energy, infrastructure, and tourism.<\/p>\n

Beyond economic relations, speeches also highlighted the evolving security environment and the increasing importance of international cooperation in the field of defence. In this context, Greece and Japan, both committed to stability and the rules-based international order, are strengthening their dialogue on strategic and defence-related issues.<\/p>\n

A very engaging evening, illustrating the depth and potential of the Greece-Japan partnership.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
