This diversity is not just a testament to Canada's open immigration policies but also enriches the nation's cultural fabric.</figcaption> </figure> <p>According to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Canada’s national parks cover an area larger than Germany. The country offers skiers, snowboarders and other winter sports enthusiasts several options, like the Rocky Mountains and Whistler Blackcomb, in the West Coast.</p> <p>Chasers of the Northern Lights can catch Nature’s mesmerizing light show from several locations throughout the year, with November to March being the best times to view the phenomena.</p> <p>Canada is celebrated for its multiculturalism. A report by Statistics Canada said that nearly 20% of the Canadian population was born outside the country. This diversity is not just a testament to Canada’s open immigration policies but also enriches the nation's cultural fabric.</p> <p>Hockey is more than just a sport in Canada; it’s a national passion. According to a survey conducted by the Canadian Hockey Association, more than 54% of Canadians participate in hockey-related activities. The sport has become an integral part of the Canadian identity, with numerous children aspiring to be the next hockey superstar.</p> <p>On the food front, Tim Hortons has achieved cult status. According to a report by NPD Group, the iconic coffee and fast food chain dominates the domestic coffee market, serving around 8 out of every 10 cups of coffee sold in the country.</p> <p>Then, there is the world-famous maple syrup. The world’s largest producer of maple syrup, the country accounts for approximately 71% of global output, The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers reported. An important contributor to the gross domestic product, maple syrup holds such a high value as a commodity that in 1966, Canada established the world’s only strategic reserve of the product.</p> <p>Tourists praise Canadians for their politeness and friendliness. A study published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology explored politeness levels in different countries and Canada consistently ranked high.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Canadians cite the country’s health care system as one source of immense pride.</p> <p>The Commonwealth Fund, an independent research organization, ranked Canada’s healthcare system as among the best in the world for its free, universal coverage.</p> <p>Canada is also home to some of the world’s most excellent universities. According to the QS World University Rankings, several Canadian universities consistently feature among the best, attracting thousands of students from all corners of the globe.</p>

I always have a positive energy and love creating good relationships with patients. I know moving to a new country is difficult, and I want to bring comfort to those living abroad by giving them a familiar environment with this clinic,” Rheaume said.</p> <p>“Recently, I focused on mental health issues. Many diseases are clear-cut, making them easily treatable. However, mental health care is much more intuitive. I am working hard to establish relationships with a good support group to effectively treat mental health issues,” she added.</p> <p>To build upon a holistic approach to medicine, Rheaume recently opened a medical spa with the latest equipment.</p> <p>“I want to assure all the Japanese who come to the United States that Kuraoka Clinic is here for whatever health issues they may have. Many Japanese expats who have gone back to Japan still keep in touch with us through messages and letters,” Rheaume said.</p> <p>“I am grateful to have received thanks from previous patients and would like to believe I have impacted them in a positive way. I want to continue my role in this community for the rest of my life,” she said.</p>

This year, our Japanese clients alone have contributed 15 percent to our bottom line,” he added.</p> <p>In line with its strategy in Japan, Diaceutics will expand its team and its network with top laboratories there throughout 2019.</p> <p>“As we commit to expansion in Asia, we need to communicate effectively and build our brand. All that said, we’re really excited about what the region and Japan will bring to our business,” Thornton said.</p>

Global Media Inc. will be revisiting Southern California to prepare a special business report highlighting the ties between Japan and the United States. The report follows the success of the regional reports produced in 2014 and 2015 on the strong Japanese-American links in Los Angeles, San Diego, Northern California, the Midwest USA, Southern USA, Southwest USA, New England and the Atlantic Coast. The special report will provide an update on the strong relationship between Southern California and Japan. As of 2016, Japan stands as the largest source of foreign-owned enterprise (FOE) jobs in Southern California, accounting for 21.7% of all FOE jobs in the region, with 2,440 Japanese-affiliated companies providing over 79,000 jobs. Scheduled to be published in June of 2017, the Special Business Report on Southern California will promote the robust trade and investment environment in the region.

          • titleBolivia 2017
          • descriptionWith an annual GDP growth exceeding 5% per year, Bolivia has one of the region's most dynamic economies. Mining of silver, zinc and gold has remained Bolivia's traditional revenue earner. But with a young and growing population, a rising middle class, and enormous tracts of arable land, the country is looking beyond mining and is promoting investments in the services, construction, real estate and agriculture sectors. Bolivia's success is best exemplified by Santa Cruz, once a backwater town of just 40,000 people 50 years ago. Today, the city is home to 3 million Bolivians, or nearly 30% of the country's population, and accounts for almost 40% of Bolivia's economic activity and foreign direct investments. This phenomenal growth is attributed to the city’s strategic location, rich natural resource and more importantly, the residents’ appetite for risk and openness to doing business. Scheduled to be published in the April 2017 in the Japan Times, the Special Business Report on Bolivia will highlight the investment potential of the country and its different cities.

          • descriptionWith Tokyo set to host the Olympics and Paralympic Games in 2020, Japan hopes to build further on its image as a major global player and spur a much-needed boost to the economy of the world’s third-largest economy. As an innovator in a wide range of industries, Japan has exported its game-changing technologies and expertise with the rest of the world. With its recent entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), the country has opened up more opportunities for its companies and entrepreneurs overseas? What does the future hold for this global powerhouse? Scheduled to be published in the March/April 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs, the Special Business Report on Japan will serve as a follow up on two previous reports, including the one in 2013 headlined by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

However, over the past two decades, its economy has experienced sluggish growth. Maintaining its position as the third’s largest economy, Japan continues to find new ways in creating economic boost.</p> <p>“As the Japanese government works on a wide range of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth, the ACCJ has offered policy prescriptions that encourage further reform and growth in Japan,” said Christopher LaFleur, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan.</p> <p>Earlier this year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated that his top priority continues to be economic growth, with accelerating Abenomics being key. Introduced in 2012, Abenomics is a set of economic policies combining aggressive fiscal spending, monetary policy, and structural reform.</p>

          • descriptionBecause of its readiness to adapt to the rapid changes and huge demands of the global economy, Sweden has remained one of Europe’s most vibrant and stable economies. Once known as a traditional industrial power, the country of only 10 million people has repeatedly reinvented itself and continues to impact billions of people around the world more than they realize. What drives this success? An open attitude, a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a constant thirst for innovation have been those driving forces. The upcoming Special Business Report on Sweden, to be published in late 2016, will be the maiden report on this country in Forbes and Forbes Asia. The report will highlight Sweden’s success stories, its most dynamic sectors, and the most critical partners for business growth.

          • descriptionSince the introduction of an economic liberalization program and the privatization of state assets in the mid-1990s, Panama has experienced steep growth in its gross domestic product that many nations in any part of the world will surely find enviable. Over the past 20 years, Panama has laid out the groundwork to become the region’s foremost center in logistics and financial services — a sensible next step in the economy’s development given its position as one of the world’s most important conduits of maritime trade. One of the fastest–growing economies in the Americas, Panama has achieved average GDP growth of 8 percent over the past decade, with the annual figure surpassing 10 percent in some years.

This is especially evident in Southern California, where Japan remains the largest source of foreign direct investment and significant driver of its economy. As of January 2020, there are around 800 Japanese companies in Southern California, which generate about 80,000 jobs. Both sides look forward to a further flourishing of relations with the accession of Japan's Emperor Naruhito last May and the start of Reiwa Era, which aspires to bring "beautiful harmony" between Japan and its friends, and with a signing of a new limited trade deal.

          • titleNew Zealand 2019
          • descriptionWith its large number of export-focused industries, New Zealand has had to be pragmatic about trade, given the size of its economy and its geographic distance to the world's largest markets. It was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with China, its largest trading partner followed by Japan and Korea. "We are a geographically isolated nation that places huge reliance on the economic benefit derived from engaging in trade. We need some predictability around that and that is why we really focus and support multilateral agreements," explained Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who expanded New Zealand's FTA with Singapore and initiated new trade talks with the European Union.

          • descriptionBordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and by the Andes mountains to the east, Chile has faced geographical challenges in creating trade routes with its nearest neighbors. Undaunted by those limitations, the country has forged free trade agreements with some of the world’s strongest economies, such as the United States, China and Japan. Traditionally a mining economy with the world’s largest copper reserves, Chile has successfully expanded its economic base, capitalizing on its natural beauty to build a dynamic tourism industry and supporting its export sector to attract more investors from Latin America. To mark 120 years of diplomatic relations with Japan and the 10th anniversary of the Chile-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, the upcoming Special Business Report on Chile in the Japan Times will highlight the stability of the country and its ideal investment climate.

          • content<p>The geographical size of the Netherlands, less than forty-two thousand square meters, belies its huge commanding position in global trade.</p> <p>To facilitate the movement of goods valued at trillions of dollars, the Netherlands has constantly expanded the Port of Rotterdam, the largest in Europe, as well as Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, the world’s fourth-busiest in passenger traffic.</p> <p>“If you are looking for a foothold in continental Europe where business culture is similar to that in the United States, and for a global hub for the United States with excellent logistics possibilities for the rest of Europe and the world, then the Netherlands is the place to be,” said Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans.</p>

          • titleJapan 2013
          • descriptionJapan alone has wrestled over the years with the bane of deflation. Deflation robs people of their expectations, turning optimists into pessimists. As I again stand at Japan’s helm, I am driven by a sense of urgency to remedy this scourge of deflation immediately. One way forward will be to take advantage of our resources, which, while incredibly rich, are still largely untapped. One long-neglected resource is our human resources, particularly women and middle-aged and elderly workers.

          • titleAustralia 2012
          • descriptionRecent economic history looks different from the perspective of Australia. Unlike other developed countries, Australia emerged unscathed from the global financial crisis that struck in 2008, and the economy did not fall into recession. An open investment climate, flexible markets, a diverse economy, and effective regulatory systems — these characteristics of our economy served us well. As other economies fell back, Australia was able to stimulate the economy without taking on dangerous levels of national debt.

          • descriptionIn the mid-1950s, in the middle of the Cold War, an Indonesian government crumbled in the wake of a vote of no confidence in parliament after it pursued a security agreement with the United States. In 2010, nearly a decade after 9/11, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and U.S. President Barack Obama signed the historic Comprehensive Partnership. And during a visit that year, President Obama’s televised speech at Universitas Indonesia was arguably the most anticipated address by a visiting foreign leader in our history.

          • descriptionThe People Power Revolution of February 1986 broke the political evolutionary logjam that followed the proclamation of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1972. That was how the late Corazon C. Aquino viewed her role in the restoration of democracy after the assassination of her husband, Benigno S. Aquino Jr. on August 21, 1983 and it is what brought her to the fore, when her successors attempted to revise the constitution and eradicate all provisions on term limits.
