Lead Balkans Partner The Secretariat

Japanese high-level Delegation visits WBF Secretariat

Today, we welcomed a high-level Japanese delegation to the Western Balkans Fund Secretariat.

The delegation was headed by Mr Yuki Sugiyama, Deputy Director at the European Affairs Bureau of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Our discussions focused on the strong partnership between Japan and the Western Balkans Fund, which has developed steadily over the past eight years.

We also explored new opportunities to deepen our cooperation, broaden its scope and generate an even greater impact in the Western Balkans.
