Despite the geographical distance, Japan and T\u00fcrkiye have traditionally maintained deep and friendly relations, which have grown much closer in recent years: the bilateral relations, which were evolved to a strategic partnership in 2013, have become more active in various fields, such as the economy, culture and education. This is probably due to T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s increasing geopolitical and strategic importance to Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, from an economic perspective, T\u00fcrkiye has a huge domestic consumer market of over 80 million people. T\u00fcrkiye also has a demographic structure supported by youthful population, and a high-quality labor force, making it a major power in the Middle East region with huge future growth potential. In addition to its domestic consumption market, T\u00fcrkiye’s position as a bridge between Europe and Asia and its geographical convenience make it an important production base for the markets of neighbouring countries and a partner for third country expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next year we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and T\u00fcrkiye, and we would like to strengthen economic cooperation relations, in various areas, including energy cooperation and increased investment from Japan to T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides liberalizing and facilitating trade between the two countries, the Japan-T\u00fcrkiye EPA will promote investment by Japanese companies in T\u00fcrkiye through the arrangement of rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, I am convinced that the further revitalization of economic relations between Japan and T\u00fcrkiye through the EPA may bring about various positive impact from the Turkish perspective. It will not only boost the recovery of T\u00fcrkiye’s economy affected by the massive earthquake, but will also contribute to an increase in exports from T\u00fcrkiye  and the entry of Turkish companies into the growing East Asian market. More opportunities for employment in T\u00fcrkiye will be created as a result of increased Japanese investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking beyond the business and economic sector, the T\u00fcrkiye-Japan Science and Technology University (TJU) in Istanbul is expected to open in the coming year, and will offer two prior majors, \u201cEnergy and Environment\u201d and \u201cEarthquake Science and Disaster Management\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the geographical distance, Japan and T\u00fcrkiye have traditionally maintained deep and friendly relations, which have grown much closer in recent years: the bilateral relations, which were evolved to a strategic partnership in 2013, have become more active in various fields, such as the economy, culture and education.<\/p>Takahiko Katsumata<\/strong>, Japanese Ambassador to Turkey<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The earthquake that hit the southeastern region of T\u00fcrkiye in February 2023 inflicted severe damage on the region. It\u2019s time for Japan to strengthen cooperative relations with T\u00fcrkiye in the field of disaster prevention technology and TJU is expected to play an important role in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The global cross-border challenges have been increasing and I believe that there is a wide scope for both countries to work together to resolve these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to climate change, Japan aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and T\u00fcrkiye aims to achieve by 2053. Through the Japanese companies\u2019 decarbonisation technologies, Japan may contribute to the business promotion between two countries as well as the decarbonisation of T\u00fcrkiye. By introducing Japanese technologies such as renewable energy, energy saving, hydrogen and fuel ammonia production and supply chain construction, CCUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of medical and health, with private-public initiative, Japan and T\u00fcrkiye cooperated to build Ba\u015fak\u015fehir \u00c7am & Sakura City Hospital in May 2020, which is the most advanced general hospital in T\u00fcrkiye. The establishment of this hospital symbolizes Japan’s contribution to T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s strategy for combating Covid-19 infection as well as to the medical and health sector in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
