"We have a great opportunity to deepen the already excellent relations between Israel and Japan. A conference such as this, together with direct flights starting in March between Japan and Israel that cut the flight time in half, build a new future for the relations between the two countries," Katsunobu Kato, Japan’s Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, said at Calcalist's Israel-Japan Conference in Tokyo.
"Japan is facing challenges such as a declining birth rate, the contraction of the productive population and soon there will be a shortage of workers in Japan. We need talents and are working on a policy that will make it easier for workers from abroad. At the same time, we are also thinking about technologies that will lead Japanese society into a new future. And here Israel, as the most technologically advanced country, with an emphasis on medicine, has an important role.
"Japan and Israel can combine their capabilities and create a new dawn for our future. We have the power to produce the chemical reaction that will lead to a new path that will strengthen the relationship between us through the healthcare field. This conference will be able to advance our common goals."
