| As a result of contacts made by the MDC, a Japanese | TV Crew is currently in Malta to produce a news feature about Malta that will focus specifically on economic aspects. |
| The visiting TV crew is from Television Tokyo Channel | 12 (TV Tokyo), one of the influential television broadcasting companies in Japan. Amongst its many other activities, TV Tokyo produces a very popular programme called ‘World Business Satellite’ that mainly reports business news from around the world. TV Tokyo is currently working on a special programme about Europe and a decision has been taken to allocate time for Malta to be featured within this programme. Particular attention will be given to Malta’s path to EU accession which remains the single most important consideration in the minds of Japanese businessmen. |
| The visiting journalists and cameramen from TV Tokyo | interviewed Minister Josef Bonnici at the Ministry for Economic Services in Valletta. They will also be interviewing the Chairman of MDC as well as the directors of a couple of international companies that are operating in Malta. |
| In his comments to TV Tokyo, Minister Bonnici | described the current attractions of Malta as a potential location for foreign direct investment and as an ideal base for companies seeking to trade within the Mediterranean Region. He went on to add that: "These attributes would be further enhanced upon Malta’s entry into the E.U. when companies operating from Malta would have unimpeded access to the single European market of which Malta would be an integral part." |
| Minister Bonnici remarked that it was not easy to | convince Japanese companies to consider alternative locations to the ones with which they are already familiar. However, he was confident that a significant breakthrough could be in the offing since the MDC and METCO were jointly in contact with an internationally renowned Japanese company which is seriously considering establishing a presence in Malta. |
