The conference was attended by many dignitaries from Japan and the U.S. Southeast region, including from our covered states, Commissioner McWhorter of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and Executive Director Cork of the Mississippi Development Authority.

In his closing remarks, Consul-General Watanabe thanked all those involved for their efforts to strengthen the Japan-U.S. Southeast economic relationship during the half century since the conference was first established. He also expressed his hope that the cooperation and collaboration between Japan and the Southeastern U.S. will deepen the economic relationship between the two countries in the future.
