✨ JBCE is pleased to present its declaration ahead of the #europeanelections and the new political mandates (2024-2029) ✨ JBCE, as a representative of over 100 companies of Japanese parentage active in Europe, has been contributing to policymaking at EU level for the past 25 years. It cultivates a strong collaboration with the European Institutions to strengthen both the political and trade relationships between the #EuropeanUnion (EU) and #Japan and develop a policy framework that supports fruitful and responsible business conduct. Reinforcing the cooperation within the framework of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) remains one of JBCE’s main priorities and, for this purpose, it would like to emphasise that: ◾ Improving European #competitiveness in the context of the EU’s economic security agenda, should not be done at the expense of relationships with its most trusted partners. ◾ It supports the idea of Japan becoming an Associated Country to #HorizonEurope. ◾ It stands ready to contribute to the policy discussion to create rules favouring a more sustainable and resilient market with the EU and other like-minded partners. ◾ Achieving sustainable and responsible #supplychains requires a holistic and cooperative approach where all relevant stakeholders recognise their shared responsibility and work together towards the same objective. ◾ International harmonisation, especially in the #digital field, remains of paramount importance when it comes to definitions of key terminology but also standards used. 📜 Please read our declaration to find out more about concrete proposals JBCE would like to put forward. 💬 JBCE is looking forward to continue cooperating with key decision-makers to advance the EU-Japan relationship 🇪🇺🤝🇯🇵.

Strengthening China-LAC Ties: Opportunities for Chinese Companies through Media Cooperation The 2024 China-Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Media Cooperation Forum, held in Rio de Janeiro, brought together representatives from over 13 countries to explore mutual understanding and cooperation. Speakers emphasized the vital role of media in deepening the China-LAC partnership, which has developed over the past decade. The forum highlighted China’s commitment to fostering a multipolar world, focusing on openness and cooperation for shared prosperity. Media, as an essential platform for cultural exchanges, plays a crucial role in shaping people-to-people relationships and breaking down stereotypes between China and LAC nations. This event underscored the importance of collaborative communication, emphasizing the potential for future growth between China and the LAC region. For Chinese companies, these strengthened ties with LAC present promising opportunities for international expansion and partnerships. The emphasis on equality, mutual benefit, and innovation creates a favorable environment for Chinese firms to explore new markets in the region. By leveraging the Belt and Road Initiative and fostering people-to-people exchanges, Chinese businesses can deepen their engagement in LAC, tapping into sectors such as technology, infrastructure, and trade, which are positioned for growth under this cooperative framework.

Relaunching European #competitiveness requires effective tools and policies. Listen to the words of our Secretary General Francesca Siciliano Stevens and read the proposals put forward by 85 organisations in the Joint European Industry Manifesto 👇 https://lnkd.in/drZadtFC #OpportunityEurope #RelaunchCompetitiveness
I am confident in the global competitiveness of European industry, and I firmly believe that European integration holds the key to addressing our industry's growing challenges. To counter the rising criticism that the EU exacerbates rather than solves global competitiveness issues, urgent action is needed. The EU must swiftly implement effective tools and policies to support the industry's transition. Only through such measures can the EU successfully engage people in the ongoing journey of building the European project.

Central Asia's Role on the Global Stage Continues to Expand Recent developments signal a new chapter for Central Asia as it continues to rise in prominence on the international stage. The region has strategically positioned itself as a vital hub for trade routes and natural resources, attracting attention from global players like the EU, US, China, and Japan. Key takeaways: ✅ Central Asian states are leveraging the geopolitical shift, engaging more actively with external partners, including Japan, which recently intensified its involvement through the C5+Japan initiative. ✅ Despite the cancellation of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit, the inaugural C5+Japan Business Forum brought about significant agreements in sectors such as energy, digitalization, and logistics. ✅ The drive for deeper regional cooperation, especially between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, is yielding results, with notable growth in bilateral trade and joint projects.
