We planned and coordinated an “economic mission” to two countries: Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Participating Japanese companies (titles omitted) include Olympus, Toshiba, Hitachi, Tohoku Electric Power, Toyota Tsusho, IHI, and Azusa Sekkei. In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, we met with government officials in charge of the economy and executives of local companies, and had meaningful exchanges of views and discussions on potential projects for cooperation in the areas of power generation, infrastructure, healthcare, and other fields. Furthermore, we called on the governments of each country to give Japanese companies priority information on promising projects and projects that have not been made public.
