The Japanese Business Alliance in Serbia (JBAS), with support from the Embassy of Japan, celebrated the Tanabata Festival at the Museum of the History of Yugoslavia in Belgrade.
The event, attended by prominent figures including Jelena Begović, Minister of Science, and Japanese Ambassador H.E. Akira Imamura, symbolised the strengthening of Serbian-Japanese relations following a recent Serbian delegation visit to Japan. Wishes written on tanzaku papers were hung on a bamboo tree, marking the occasion.
The festival underscored the cooperation between the two nations, with future plans including a visit by Japan’s JETRO delegation to Serbia to boost economic ties and promote investment opportunities, particularly in light of the upcoming World Expo 2025 in Osaka and Belgrade Expo 2027.
