Since then, relations between Japan and the Middle East have developed significantly. Today, the relationship between the two sides covers a wide range of areas, but energy relations remain a pillar of Japan-Middle East relations. In this international symposium jointly organised by the\u00a0Qatar Chair and\u00a0JIME-IEEJ, we would like to look back at the past 50 years and discuss new relations between Japan and the Middle East through energy and other fields in the next 50 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Date and Time: 10:00-12:30, 30<sup class=\"x_ContentPasted2\">th<\/sup>\u00a0October 2023.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Venue:\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Keidanren Hall North, Second Floor,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Keidanren-Kaikan, Otemachi, Tokyo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Language: Japanese and English (with simultaneous interpretation)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Participation fee: free of charge<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">*Participation is possible in-person or online as a hybrid system via Zoom<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"x_MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"><span class=\"x_ContentPasted2\" lang=\"EN-US\">Agenda:<\/span><\/h4>\n<table class=\"table table-colored-tbhd\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 25%;\" width=\"90\">Time<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 75%;\" colspan=\"3\" width=\"477\">Program<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">09:00-10:00<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"3\" width=\"477\">Meeting between speakers and simultaneous interpreters<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">09:30-10:00<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"3\" width=\"477\">Registration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">10:00-10:05<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"146\">Opening Remarks<\/td>\n<td width=\"331\"><strong>Mr. Kiyoto Tsuji<\/strong>, State Minister for Foreign Affairs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"90\">10:05-10:15<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"3\" width=\"477\"><strong>H.E.
