Japan's top diplomat: Kosovo's economic development essential for peace, stability in region

Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs has said that Kosovo's economic development is essential, and according to it since the State declared, Japan has consistently supported the statehood of Kosovo.

In addition to the case of its official visit to Kosovo, she said strengthening reports between the two countries would affect even more Kosovo's economic development.

Kosovo's economic development is essential for peace and stability in the region. In the economic arena, concrete activities are under way in Kosovo as well. A Japanese company is actively expanding their operations in Europe from a base in Kosovo to the food sector. Furthermore, the next year will be held, Expo Osaka-Kancei, and we have received confirmation of the Kosovo government's participation. We are eager to work together to accelerate preparations to build a moment for Expo's success, taking advantage of this opportunity to further deepen the co-operation between our two countries. We hope that Kosovo's participation in Expo will display its charm, leading to successful new examples of business investments. The Japanese government will continue to encourage and support the expansion of Japanese companies' activities in this region, with strong conviction that strengthening our economic relations will contribute to the further development of Kosovo's economic development, thus laying the groundwork for peace and stability in the Western Balkan region”.
