EBC Newsletter – September 14, 2022

 

From the EBC

Dear Friends of the EBC,

We would like to warmly welcome the new EU Ambassador-Designate to Japan, H.E. Mr. Jean-Eric Paquet, who submitted copy of his credentials on 6 September (and will present his credentials to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan at a later date).

We are looking forward to working with him and his team to promote an impediment-free business and investment environment that will make it less difficult and costly to do business in Japan.

Let me also share with you documents that the Cabinet Office has recently uploaded in English: the “Grand Design and Action Plan for a New Form of Capitalism” and “Follow-Up”, approved by the Cabinet based on the Cabinet Resolution on 7 June 2022.

We hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.
