Friday, 26 January 2018, Düsseldorf, North Rhine Westphalia: Premier of NRW Armin Laschet welcomed for a presentation meeting His Excellency Ambassador Takeshi Yagi, Head of Mission of Japan to Germany, at the “Landeshaus” or Government House in Düsseldorf.
Japan is amongst the most prominent non-European commercial partners for NRW. In fact there are more than six hundred Nipponese companies based in NRW, making it the investment hub for the Japanese in Germany par excellence. NRW by consequence boasts the largest Nipponese population in the whole of Germany, just as Amstelveen in The Netherlands does for the neighbouring Benelux countries.
Currently the Prefecture Fukushima maintains with the State Government a scientific cooperation concerning medical technology and renewable energies. It is intended to intensify the cooperation in 2018.
