A delegation of about fifteen Japanese Members of Parliament visited Cyprus on August 21 and 22, as part of an official visit to countries of the Mediterranean. They were accompanied by HE Mr Hiroshi Toda, Ambassador of Japan in Athens, and other senior officials as well as Mr Andreas Neocleous, Chairman of our firm and Honorary Consul-General of Japan in Limassol. The delegation had the opportunity to be fully briefed on recent developments in Cyprus including the use of Cyprus as an investment gateway to various other countries, the potential energy reserves in the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone and the current situation following the Eurogroup decision of 25 March 2013. This is the first time that such a large official delegation from Japan has visited Cyprus and hopefully this will be the start of a fruitful, long term business relationship between the two countries. Mr Neocleous hosted a lunch at our firm's premises following the visit.
