The Director of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA) Gordan Milinić talked with the Ambassador of Japan to BiH H.E. Kazuya Ogawa on the planned Investment Conference for BiH in Tokyo in the first half of 2018, proposed at the recent meeting of the Foreign Ministers of BiH and Japan.

In addition to the FIPA and the Embassy of Japan in BiH, the Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Tokyo, the FIPA representative in Japan Shigehiko Nishihama and the Foreign Trade Organization of Japan JETRO from Vienna will participate in organization of the event in order to gather as many Japanese businesspeople - possible investors in BiH to who will be presented opportunities for investing.

Considering that there is no registered investment from Japan in BiH, this event represents an excellent opportunity for promoting Bosnia and Herzegovina and changing the current situation in the field of investments.

As a result of the visit of twenty Japanese investors to BiH in October 2016, 4 local companies had meetings with Japanese firm Makita from Romania to discuss opportunities for cooperation.

The representatives of FIPA also pointed out that Japanese investments are welcome, because the economy and citizens of BiH have great confidence in Japanese diligence and precision.
