History

Japan.jpg

Germany and Japan have a tradition of friendly bilateral relations. Over the past decades, international cooperation between the two countries has intensified. In 2011, Germany and Japan celebrated their 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. The principal multilateral forums for German cooperation with Japan are the United Nations, the G7/G8 and G20 groups and the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) summits. In addition, the European Union is a member of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in which issues relating to security policy in Asia are discussed.

Japanese-German relations are extremely tight also in the economic field. Germany is for Japan the largest trading partner in Europe, while, conversely, Japan was for many years the most important German trading partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
