Noboa promotes trade agreements with Japan and announces the donation of cars for young people

The president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, continued his tour in Japan on August 27, 2025. This time, he held important meetings with Ecuadorians living in Japan and Japanese authorities.

At the Trade and Investment Promotion Seminar, Noboa highlighted the commercial opportunities that Ecuador offers. He met with Japan's Minister of Economy, Yoji Muto, and other representatives of the business community.

Noboa emphasized Ecuador's intention to establish itself as a reliable partner for Japan. He stressed the importance of  long-term trade relations, based on honor and mutual respect.

During the discussions, Minister Muto highlighted Ecuador's key role as Japan's sixth-largest crude oil supplier. He also underscored Ecuador's potential in other sectors such as energy and natural resources.

Meanwhile, Noboa presented  Ecuador's business opportunities, legal security, and sustainability, aiming to strengthen cooperation and commercial openness with Japan.

In addition to trade issues, Suzuki, a Japanese vehicle manufacturer, announced a significant donation of USD  1.1 million for the social project "Jóvenes al Volante," aimed at Ecuadorian youth.

As part of this project, Suzuki will also donate 10 cars to young community leaders, along with the exemption of vehicle registration fees for young people up to 29 years old who purchase vehicles of this brand.

This tour by Noboa to Japan not only strengthens trade ties, but also generates a positive impact on Ecuadorian youth, showing Ecuador's commitment to boosting its economy and supporting social development through foreign investment.
