A mission of experts of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is paying visits to Moldova to determine the necessities of the agricultural sector and to identify other specific areas where Japan can initiate technical assistance projects, Japan’s Ambassador to Moldova Masanobu Yoshii announced in a news conference, quoted by IPN.
The diplomat said the JICA experts have meetings with all the interested sides, from farmers to the governmental authorities, while the results of their assessments will be made public in a workshop that will be held in Chisinau in June or July.
Masanobu Yoshii noted that Japan continues to make effort to develop the relations with the Republic of Moldova based on common universal values such as democracy, market economy and the rule of law.
The Moldovan-Japanese diplomatic relations were established on March 16, 1992. In the period, the financial assistance offered by Japan to Moldova totaled over US$150 million. Japan is the third largest donor of Moldova after the European Union and the United States.
