TOKYO, Japan – August 21, 2025 – The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) announced today that a distinguished delegation from the Republic of Togo has concluded a significant visit to Japan, coinciding with Togo’s National Day at the upcoming Expo. The delegation also leveraged this opportunity to engage in discussions related to the TICAD9 (Tokyo International Conference on African Development) summit, further strengthening bilateral ties and exploring avenues for enhanced economic cooperation. A key highlight of their visit was an economic seminar held in Osaka, designed to foster investment and business partnerships between Japan and Togo.
The Togolese delegation, comprising prominent government officials and business leaders, arrived with a clear agenda to promote Togo as an attractive destination for Japanese investment and to deepen trade relations. Their participation in Togo’s National Day at the Expo served as a vital platform to showcase the nation’s economic potential, cultural heritage, and commitment to sustainable development. This national day event provided an invaluable opportunity to highlight specific sectors of Togo’s economy ripe for Japanese expertise and capital.
Furthermore, the delegation’s engagement with TICAD9-related discussions underscores Togo’s proactive role in shaping the future of Japan-Africa economic relations. TICAD, a forum that brings together African nations and international partners to discuss development strategies, offers a crucial framework for aligning national development goals with global initiatives. Togo’s active participation signals its dedication to leveraging these dialogues for tangible economic progress.
The economic seminar hosted in Osaka proved to be a particularly impactful event. Organized by JETRO in collaboration with Togolese stakeholders, the seminar brought together Japanese business representatives, investors, and government officials with their Togolese counterparts. The objective was to provide in-depth insights into Togo’s investment climate, regulatory framework, and key growth sectors such as agriculture, renewable energy, logistics, and tourism. Presentations detailed the advantages of doing business in Togo, including its strategic location, growing market, and government incentives for foreign direct investment.
Discussions during the seminar focused on identifying concrete opportunities for collaboration, facilitating business-to-business matchmaking, and addressing potential challenges for Japanese companies looking to expand their operations into Togo. The Togolese delegation expressed strong enthusiasm for attracting Japanese investment, emphasizing the stability and growth trajectory of their economy.
This visit and the subsequent economic seminar signify a renewed commitment from both Japan and Togo to bolster their economic partnership. By fostering direct dialogue and providing platforms for mutual understanding, such initiatives are instrumental in unlocking the full potential of bilateral trade and investment, ultimately contributing to the sustained development and prosperity of both nations. JETRO remains dedicated to supporting such vital exchanges that pave the way for stronger international economic cooperation.
