Mr. Takuya Yamazaki who is from METI and former Director General of the JMC/JETRO Brussels office, returned to Japan in July this year and assumed the important post of Chief Counselor of the Digital Agency. While the local sense does not cool down, he will talk about the latest situation of EU-Japan relations. Needless to say, EU and Japan are working as allies and regions on "green," "digital," and "economic security = resilience," centered on the Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) and mutual cooperation is being strengthened year by year.
