On the sidelines of his participation in the Commemorative Summit for the 50th Year of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) – Japan Friendship and Cooperation, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. keynotes the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) event dubbed, ‘Creative and Sustainable Economy Through Innovation’, in Tokyo, Japan on December 17, 2023.

Organized through the DTI’s representative office in Japan, the Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in Tokyo, the event is built on the Summit’s central theme, ‘Friendship and Cooperation’, proving that the vision of co-creation has already materialized through the ongoing work of four (4) featured Philippines-Japan projects that emphasize both nations’ support in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The exhibits during the event feature the animation and game development sectors of the creative industry with Neun Farben and Tsuburaya Productions; the partnership between internationally acclaimed Filipino tree-to-bar company, Auro Chocolate, and Japanese heritage brand Ikeda Senchado led by 10th Grade tea master Kenta Ikeda; Banana Cloth initiatives; and the collaboration of Go Lifestyle Group — which holds the Manila Fashion Festival — with STYLEM Takisada-Osaka Co., Ltd., a leading fabric trading company in Japan.

First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos also graces the event. The DTI notes that with her important role as patron of Philippine indigenous textiles, design, services, MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), public health services and environmental causes, her attendance to the occasion reaffirms her dedication for projects aimed at addressing the shared responsibility of promoting sustainability and innovation.
