Japan and France Deepen Cooperation to Drive Economic Development

In May 2025, Japanese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Takehiro Funakoshi visited Paris, France, to meet with Anne-Marie Descôtes, Secretary General of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, aiming to strengthen bilateral cooperation in diplomacy, security, economy, and culture.

Additionally, a state-of-the-art rare earths plant is being built in France with support from both French and Japanese entities, highlighting the two countries' collaboration in supply chain resilience and sustainability.

These initiatives indicate a growing partnership between Japan and France across various sectors, leading to increased cross-border financial activities for citizens and businesses.
