Japan will send three missions to Africa to promote investment and trade with African nations, Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura said Tuesday.
Of the three delegations, the first is scheduled to leave Saturday for Botswana, Mozambique, Madagascar and South Africa while the second will depart on Sept. 9 for Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania. The third mission is set off on Sept. 13 for Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Cameroon.
The missions, consisting of government officials and business representatives, will meet with African political and business leaders and visit relevant facilities in various African countries.
The plan for the missions was announced by Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda during the Tokyo International Conference on African Development in May.
