Svyrydenko expressed enthusiasm about the event, highlighting its potential to create jobs and stimulate growth in Ukraine’s economy.
Alongside the forum, preparations are underway for the arrival of two Japanese business missions. These missions are expected to focus on specific sectors such as technology, energy, and infrastructure, areas where Japan has shown interest in collaborating with Ukraine.

The discussions also included the possibility of expanding cooperation in renewable energy and digital transformation, which are crucial for Ukraine’s long-term development.
The announcement has been met with optimism, as it signals a renewed commitment to boosting bilateral trade and investment. Both parties anticipate that the forum and missions will lead to increased economic activity and foster a more stable business environment. With Japan’s economic influence and Ukraine’s strategic location, the potential for mutual benefit is significant. The event is seen as a step towards greater economic integration and long-term partnerships between the two nations.
