\u201cAlong with these milestones celebrations we have the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which will be promoted through an exchange of ideas and lessons learned from the last Olympic Games held in Rio with the theme \u2018From Rio to Tokyo,\u2019\u201d explained Ambassador of Japan to Brazil, Akira Yamada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the other hand, in Brazil, with the Bolsonaro administration and the new parliament, it can be said that Brazil has entered a period of positive change and transformation with economic policies that are free-trade oriented and increasing the competitiveness of the local industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil boasts the largest population of Japanese living outside Japan, while Japan contains the third-largest community of Brazilians living outside Brazil. \u201cEven if we live on the other side of the planet, our human ties are very strong,\u201d added Ambassador Yamada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our main goals is to support the protection of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest and combat illegal deforestation. This year, we intend to begin phase two of the project that utilizes satellite images using artificial intelligence to predict where illegal deforestation may happen next,\u201d said Hiroshi Sato, chief representative of JICA Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are supporting the mission of improving the business environment in the country, and also promoting open innovations between Japanese companies and Brazilian startup companies through different events such as panel discussions,\u201d added Atsushi Okubo, Director President of JETRO S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is also able to support open innovation by providing financing to potential companies that contribute to the improvement of Brazil and promote sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrazil is very welcoming of Japanese companies and investors because they support the Brazilian economy and society,\u201d expressed Shinichi Sanui, president and CEO of Banco Mizuho do Brasil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn top of promoting the cultural exchange between Japan and Brazil, we aim to promote the exchange of opinions that contribute to the development of society. One of our current projects collaborates with farmers the different ways to utilize bamboo,\u201d said Masaru Susaki, director general of the Japan Foundation in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consul General of Rio de Janeiro, Tetsuya Otsuru said, \u201cWith the progress of economic recovery in Brazil, the interest of Japanese companies are increasing in Brazil through various investments and re-investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are opening a new plant in Brazil toward the end of 2020 that will produce ingredients that global cosmetic companies can use to produce their products. This will be the largest plant outside Japan,\u201d said Tatsuya Sasaki, president of Ajinomoto do Brasil Industria e Comercio de Alimentos Ltda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2019, we launched R-32, a model from our newest line. We are excited to present a whole line of nextgeneration coolant in 2020 that provides low environmental impact and higher efficiency,\u201d added Tomoji Miki of McQuay Ar Condicionado Brasil Ltda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJapan and Brazil have (enjoyed) long-standing friendly cooperation and are important partners who share fundamental values and principles. At present, the relationship between Brazil and Japan is excellent, but I am convinced that the best time for bilateral relations is soon to come,\u201d concluded Ambassador Yamada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
