ONLINE EVENT: Leveraging Japan-LAC Relations Post-Covid-19

As the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region grapples with the devastating economic and social effects of Covid-19, cooperation with Japan, a long-standing economic and development partner in the region, could do much to improve prospects for recovery in certain countries and industries.

Our panel of esteemed speakers will detail the various ways Japan is preparing to engage with Latin America in a post-Covid-19 environment and how LAC nations can leverage long-standing partnerships with Japanese government entities and companies to maximize social and economic benefits.
