Cooperation on biomass and food security will be top of the agenda when Prime Minister Fumio Kishida meets his Brazilian and Paraguayan counterparts later this week on his first visit to South America since taking office.
Underscoring the government’s commitment to the Global South, Kishida will seek to deepen bilateral cooperation on a range of issues of critical importance to Tokyo – namely energy and climate technology investments.
Executives from about 40 Japanese companies will travel with the delegation to Brazil in an effort to reaffirm national interests in a region with traditionally close ties to Japan and counter China’s growing presence.
