Strengthening Commercial and Cultural Ties with Japan
TradeMalta recently led a successful business mission to Japan, aimed at strengthening commercial and cultural ties between the two nations. The mission, organized between the 10th and 16th November 2024, included meetings and events for 20 delegates in Tokyo and Osaka – the latter hosting EXPO 2025 next year.
Led by H.E. Ambassador Andre Spiteri, the delegation participated in a series of business fora, networking events, and cultural visits designed to bolster relationships between Malta and Japan.
In Tokyo, the delegation attended a Business Forum titled “Linking Japan and Malta through Commercial and Cultural Ties” at the International House of Japan. The event featured opening remarks by H.E. Ambassador Andre Spiteri, promotional videos about Malta, and a networking session.
During the same week, the delegation engaged in two networking events in Osaka, hosted by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as QuintBridge business community. The delegates had the opportunity to visit Kindai University and discuss potential areas of cooperation with the different departments.
During this visit the Maltese delegation promoted its participation in the upcoming EXPO2025 in Osaka, showcasing the nation’s innovations and cultural heritage on a global stage.
Anton Buttigieg, CEO of TradeMalta, commented, “The delegation’s visit underscores Malta’s commitment to fostering strong international partnerships and exploring new opportunities for collaboration in various sectors, including business, education, and culture. The events provided a platform for Maltese and Japanese entities to connect, share insights, and explore potential collaborations.”
TradeMalta encourages Malta-based businesses interested in expanding internationally to reach out with their ideas and plans. We look forward to offering guidance and resources to help turn their internationalization plans into successful endeavours.
