Japan Economic Cooperation Centre
The Mission also met Sir Michael Wilford, Her Majesty's
Ambassador in Japan.
II.E. the Governor gave a key address (Appendix II)
to the Keidanren on 21 November 1978 in which the present
and prospective economic relations between Japan and Hong
Kong were highlighted.
Suggestions received by the Mission
Many suggestions were received by the Mission
for improvement in the economic relations between Japan
and Hong Kong, in particular to promote imports into Japan
from Hong Kong. Notable among these were:
(i) to increase the use of Japanese agents for pro-
motion of long kong products and utilise office
display space in the "Sunshine Building"
specially built for display of foreign origin
products;
(ii) to create a Hong Kong symbol of quality similar
to the JIS symbol used in Japan;
(iii) to promote exports to Japan of machine components
and parts which were being imported in increasing
quantities;
(iv) to promote the quality image and exports of high
quality products to Japan and reduce complaints;
(v) to participate in meetings of a committee to be
established by the Japan Foreign Trade Council
to study means to encourage imports from Hong
Kong;
(vi) to attend industrial investment seminars to be
organised by JETRO;
