Japan eyes new embassy post to promote cross-border business ties
TOKYO -- Japan is looking to create a post at its embassies dedicated to promoting international business ties, Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa said Monday, as the U.S.-China rivalry, war in Ukraine and other geopolitical shifts open up new doors for companies.
Kamikawa outlined the plans to bolster Japan's economy through diplomacy in a speech to the Japan Business Federation, the country's leading business lobby also known as Keidanren.
