commenced in Zagreb on Monday.
A Japanese economic delegation, that is taking part in the forum, is
visiting Zagreb on Monday and Tuesday in organisation of the
Japanese association for trade with Russia and central and eastern
European countries.
The trade between Croatia and Japan amounted to 153.5 million US
dollars, and 146.1 million of it referred to Japanese exports to
Croatia, whereas Croatia exported only 7.4 million dollars to
Japan. This means that 90 percent of the trade was covered by
imports from Japan, said the head of the Croatian Chamber of
Commerce (HGK), Nadan Vidosevic, while opening the forum.
Vidosevic added that there were great chances of promoting economic
ties between the two countries. Croatia is a small market but with a
very favourable position in relation to traffic and communications
and there lies its chance to attract investors, Vidosevic added.
The Croatian-Japanese Forum's chairman, Kenzo Harada, said it was
necessary to learn more about each other. As the Japanese economy is
recovering from a long stagnation, Harada believes that the
economic relations between Croatia and his country will develop at
a speedier tempo.
