 | Mr Julien Guerrier, Counsellor of the Delegation of the European Commission to Japan and the General Manager of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, gave a presentation on 1 October in Takamatsu city and called for a shift of the EU-Japan relationship from competition to cooperation. The event was part of the annual conference organised by the Kagawa EU Association and the Kagawa Keizai Doyukai in order to deepen understanding of the EU among business community in Kagawa (40 participants). Mr Guerrier emphasised that the EU and Japan are increasingly sharing common challenges – globalisation, ageing society, competition from emerging economies, etc. Correspondingly the objective and core activities of the EU-Japan Centre has shifted from those targeted at improving the trade balance between Europe and Japan to those aiming at facilitating more dialogues and policy analysis in order to build cooperative relationship between the two regions. Part of such activities are the EU-Japan Business Round Table and human resources trainings fro businesspeople and students of both regions. Mr Guerrier’s speech concluded that it is important to deepen our cooperation based on our strength so that both Europe and Japan can maintain competitiveness in the global economy. Prior to the event, Mr Guerrier made a courtesy visit to the Governor Manabe. | Shikoku Shimbun | October 2009 |
