The ASEAN-Japan Business Meeting (AJBM) is a multilateral, private-led forum between Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The inaugural meeting was held in 1974 in Tokyo, Japan, on the initiative of Keizai Doyukai, one of the influential national business organizations in Japan.

Behind the creation of this forum was a strong belief among the Keizai Doyukai members of the time, that economic exchange on the private-sector level, supplementing official development aid, should play a key role to realize stability and development of the East-Asian countries. In comparison with other international conferences and forum, the AJBM is unique in providing an arena for private sector dialogue between Japan and ASEAN as a region.

The 48th AJBM, themed “ASEAN–Japan Cooperation to Create Future Values Together” discussed areas for mutual cooperation between ASEAN and Japan to build a sustainable society and human resources value chain. The meeting welcomed participants and speakers from across ASEAN and Japan comprising Japanese government officials, high-level business executives, representatives from the ASEAN diplomatic missions in Japan, thinktanks and the greater business community in Japan.

The Malaysian delegation led by Datuk Jason Tai Hee, Vice-President of MAJECA and Mr Yeonhang Chuah, Hon. Treasurer of MAJECA were accompanied by members and the Secretariat from the Malaysia-Japan Economic Association (MAJECA) as AJBM Malaysia and the Embassy of Malaysia in Japan.

Datuk Seri Mohamed Iqbal, Vice-President of Malaysia-Japan Economic Association (MAJECA) noted that there are new challenges ahead despite accelerating Japanese FDI in Malaysia.

He added that in the Malaysian and global context, Malaysia needs to continue presenting itself to be competitive and in a favourable environment, not only at the inception stage but continuously during the entire investment period.

He continued that as industries continue to operate during these turbulent times, one will see how the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic can be overcome, as well as how industries can navigate around the challenges arising from the war and hoped for a peaceful resolution to the war.

He echoed views of Ambassador Takahashi Katsuhiko of the importance and the opportunities presented by the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the recent ratification of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

These FTAs are progressive. Malaysia and the signatories should work together to reap benefits accorded under these agreements,” Datuk Seri Mohamed Iqbal said. According to Datuk Seri Mohamed Iqbal, over 15,000 – 17,000 students from Malaysia benefited from the Look-East Policy where they went to Japan, studied and some of whom were gainfully employed there.
