Chairman Tatsuo Yasunaga (Representative Director Chair of the Board of Directors Mitsui & Co., Ltd.)
The world today faces numerous challenges, including widening economic disparities, escalating conflicts and divisions, extreme weather events, and the collapse of ecosystems, making the future increasingly uncertain.
Amidst these trying times, I have adopted the slogan “Exploring the Future with a Frontier Spirit.” This embodies the Japan Foreign Trade Council’s commitment to spearheading new initiatives and exploring Japan’s diverse potential within the international community. We aim to incorporate innovative ideas and technologies, strengthen our global connections, and create new business opportunities to build a prosperous future.
For Japan to move forward into the future, it is crucial to strengthen partnerships with rapidly growing Global South countries such as India and Brazil, and to accelerate transformations in green and digital sectors by leveraging Japan’s advanced technologies. I believe that harnessing the immense vitality of these nations and learning from each other will evolve our ideas and ways of thinking, generating the energy to take on new challenges.
Furthermore, by leveraging the knowledge and experience gained through international activities to address domestic issues, we aim to break through the sense of stagnation surrounding Japan’s socioeconomic environment and pave the way for the future.
We sincerely request your continued support and cooperation for all of JFTC’s activities.
