●Japan Cooperation Forum for the Middle East

The conference has been held abroad every year since 1976, with the participation of top Japanese business leaders and intellectuals, high-ranking Japanese government officials and Japanese business representatives residing in the region. It offers an opportunity to discuss how to establish the cooperative relationship between Japan and the countries of the Middle East.
The results of the conference are submitted to the Japanese Prime Minister and relevant Ministers in the form of recommendation, so that our views can be reflected in the Government’s policy planning related to the Middle East region.

●Investment Promotion Forum

JCCME organizes “Investment Promotion Forum” in Japan every year, with the participation of speakers from the Middle East countries. It enables Japanese enterprises to obtain the latest information on investment climate of each country such as incentives and related laws.

●Bilateral Dialogues

JCCME enhances cooperative relations and exchanges with certain specific Middle East countries by holding a dialogue on the private-sector level.
