From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

 

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and Mr. Angel Gurria, who has been the OECD’s Secretary-General for the past 15 years, will be stepping down this May.

 

The FPCJ has invited Mr. Gurria to hold a press briefing from Paris, in which he will look back on the past 15 years and the changes which occurred in the Japanese economy. He will also discuss topics such as Japan after the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of digital transformation (DX), and how Japan can contribute to development in the Indo-Pacific region, and also to fighting climate change.
