ArmInfo. In the second half of the 19th century, anticipating the beginning of the world trade intensification and the first signs of globalization, abandoning the traditional policy of isolationism, Japan took the path of the human capital intensive development, accompanied by a significant increase in education, thus creating a solid foundation for an unprecedented technological breakthrough. Overcoming obstacles, all the adversity and tragedies, a country having no  essential  natural resources, successfully became the leader of the world economy, setting an example of resilience and exceptional Eastern wisdom - an example highly desired for Armenia as it is today. The first serious direct contacts between Armenia and Japan began to form only after the devastating Spitak earthquake of 1988, when Japan extended a generous helping hand to us. And four years later, diplomatic relations were established between the current independent Armenia and Japan. In the interview given to the ArmInfo News Agency, courtesy of the newly appointed Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Armenia, His Excellency Mr. Jun Yamadа, summarizes the thirty-year history of diplomatic and consular relations between our two countries, talks about international assistance in the upcoming  early parliamentary elections in Armenia, shares his opinion on the development of educational programs,  touches upon  the prospects of mutual investment protection, cooperation in the field of prevention and counteraction to the consequences of emergency situations and much more.
