A Japanese business delegation is planning a visit to Bulgaria in the spring. This was announced after a meeting of the President of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), Bozhidar Bozhinov, with Hirouki Fujimora, President of Ebara Corporation and of the Japanese side of the Bulgaria-Japan mixed committee. The delegation will probably arrive for the spring edition of the International Plovdiv Fair. Bozhinov`s view is that stepping up the work of the mixed committee is crucial for improving trade between the two countries. The committee is scheduled to meet in Sofia in April to adopt a programme for supporting corporate cooperation and the training of managers.
