Japan-China Economic Association

The Japan-China Economic Association was established as an incorporated foundation on November 22, 1972 with the approval of the Minister of International Trade and Industry. The Association was launched as a public-service corporation with the Japan-China Memorandum Trade Liaison Offices and the China / Asia Trade Structure Center as its parent organizations.

The association engages in extensive and wide-ranging business activities as a contact point for Japanese economic and industrial sectors in order to further promote mutual understanding which seeks the sound development of Japan-China economic relations. This is done through efforts like Japan-China Economic Association delegations to China, which have been dispatched each year since the launch of the association, inviting top leaders from the Government of China and all quarters to Japan, and regional agency and city exchanges at the leadership level.

In 2017 JCEA will continue to work on promotion of new-level industrial cooperation between Japan and China and improvement of business environment in China which aims to realize deepening of economic reforms, through effectively linking the existing economic exchanges with the 45th anniversary activities of Japan-China diplomatic normalization.     .
