Japan

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce encourages dialogue between Chamber members and Japanese officials to improve the regulatory and investment climate in Japan for U.S. business. The Chamber's Japan team regularly reaches out to Japanese government and embassy officials, representatives of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), as well as Japanese business organizations to present Chamber members' views on trade, investment, and regulatory issues.  The Chamber also encourages cooperation between the United States and Japan on international economic matters, such as multilateral trade liberalization and intellectual property rights protection and enforcement.
