The Ethio-Japan Business Seminar is taking place in Yokohama, Japan with the presence of over 230 local and Japanese companies.
The seminary is taking place as a side event of the seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), which is expected to be concluded today. About 193 Japanese and 42 local companies are attending the event.
