Sejm speaker looks to Japan for investment and cooperation

Sejm Speaker Marek Borowski who yesterday met Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumim, said Poland's entry into the European Union may open up new opportunities for Polish-Japanese co-operation. Borowski stressed that the key objective with regard to trade with Japan, was to attract Japanese capital. "Both sides are willing to discuss regulations and terms for investing in Poland with Japanese investors, adding that currently Japan is struggling with stagnation and therefore it needs to push forward many reforms. "In this aspect, there is a mutual understanding". He also added that Poland and Japan take part in the so-called Japanese-Polish-Ukrainian triangle in which Japan finances a variety of investments in Poland and Ukraine. (www.onet.pl) A.Z.
