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.

Mesqel, director-general of the Public Enterprises Holding & Administration Agency, and Kassa Tekleberhan, Ethiopia's ambassador to Japan, are also among the government officials attending the session.
