Osaka Will Host a G20 Summit
On the 28th and 29th of June 2019, the leaders of the G20 will gather in Osaka as Japan hosts its first ever G20 Summit. Concurrent with the Summit meeting, the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting, the Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, and other ministerial meetings will also be held at eight different locations throughout Japan.
During its presidency of the G20 Summit, the Japanese government is determined to carry out strong leadership in advancing discussions toward resolving the myriad issues now facing the international community.
At the same time, the G20 Summit is a perfect opportunity for people from all over the world to see and experience not only a newly revitalized and transforming Japan—which is thanks to booming corporate profits and a wave of inbound investment as a result of bold regulatory reforms and other stimulus measures—but also the wide-ranging appeal of the various regions that will host these consequential discussions.
The nine cities hosting the G20 Summit and its related ministerial meetings all have their own fascinating cuisine, history, and culture. The city of Osaka, location of the Summit Meeting, is one of Japan’s economic powerhouses with a population of 2.72 million (Osaka Prefecture: 8.83 million) and a GDP of JPY 20 trillion (USD 187 billion) (Osaka Prefecture: JPY 39 trillion (USD 364 billion)). Meanwhile, the Tourism Ministers’ Meeting will be held in Hokkaido’s increasingly popular and scenic international resort town of Kutchan, with a population of 16,000. These incredibly diverse municipalities have already started thoroughly preparing for the gatherings they will host.

Last year we marked the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations. I would like to note that throughout these years our relations have been developing steadily. Qatar is our important and reliable partner in the Middle East and North Africa region.
We note considerable interaction in investment activities. Our investment funds are operating effectively. I know that thanks to your decision, $2 billion were allocated for joint projects. Opportunities are currently being reviewed for another $10 billion.
We also have other areas of interaction. I am referring to our cultural and humanitarian ties, as well as military technical cooperation.

I believe we should use this cultural foundation for boosting cultural exchanges between our countries.
Mr President, first of all I would like to thank you for the support the 2018 Organising Committee is giving us, and also to congratulate you again on successfully hosting of that huge event.
