Romanian-Japanese investment in sectors of the future can be promoted by organising a workshop in Romania at the end of 2024 dedicated to state-owned companies in the two countries, according to Chairman of the Agency for the Monitoring and Evaluation of the Performance of Government-owned Enterprises (AMEPIP) Mihai Precup.At the same time, investment between the two countries could also be promoted by developing public-private partnerships with Japanese companies, in order to create new directions of economic and social development for Romania.Precup has recently met in Tokyo senior Japanese officials at the second edition of the Romania-Japan Innovation Forum, June 26-28."Yesterday, in Tokyo, I had the pleasure of meeting a working group of the Global Business Investment Support Office (GBIS), within the cabinet of the secretariat of the government of Japan, led by Koyu Izumi, advisor to the Japanese Prime Minister and head of GBIS," Precup is quoted as saying in a press statement.Regarding the development of public-private partnerships with Japanese companies in order to create new directions of economic and social development for Romania, Precup said that they "could facilitate technology and know-how transfers, innovation and research, boosting economic growth and job creation. (...) Also, amid the current security context, we promoted the message that Romania is ready and can become a regional hub for the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war. The initiative could involve an active collaboration between Romanian and Japanese companies to bring expertise and resources in the reconstruction process, which significantly benefit both countries and contribute to the stabilisation and reconstruction of the region affected by conflicts.
