The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has reaffirmed its commitment to deepening economic ties between Japan and Ethiopia by facilitating increased Japanese investment in Ethiopia’s growing industrial sector.

In a recent meeting in Tokyo, Kazuya Nakajo, Executive Vice President of JETRO, and Fisseha Yitagesu, CEO of the Ethiopian Industrial Parks Development Corporation (IPDC), discussed strategies to attract Japanese businesses to Ethiopia. 

Fisseha highlighted the country’s favorable investment climate and the strategic role of industrial parks in fostering foreign investment.

Nakajo, in turn, pledged JETRO’s support in promoting Ethiopia as an attractive destination for Japanese investors, emphasizing the country’s untapped potential in various sectors. 

As a government-affiliated organization, JETRO plays a key role in strengthening trade and investment partnerships between Japan and emerging markets like Ethiopia.

This collaboration is expected to enhance Ethiopia’s industrial growth by leveraging Japanese expertise and capital, further solidifying economic relations between the two nations.
