The news emerged during a meeting between public and private representatives from both countries, held this Thursday at the Casa de San Juan in Buenos Aires. Juan Pablo Perea, the provincial Minister of Mining, met with Japanese business leaders to discuss the future of mining in the region. The meeting was organized by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), Japan's official trade promotion agency, which visited the province last July alongside an investor delegation.

The event, which also included the participation of Martín Palisa, Director of the San Juan Investment Development Agency, and Eduardo Liciardi, Director of the Casa de San Juan in Buenos Aires, highlighted Japan's growing interest in San Juan's mining sector. During the meeting, Japanese companies requested detailed information about the province's current status and mining development opportunities to evaluate potential investments and business ventures in the region, especially in light of the political changes in the sector following the implementation of RIGI.

The meeting saw the participation of several industry heavyweights, including Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Mitsui, along with representatives from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), the Embassy of Japan, Sumitomo Corporation Argentina, and Marubeni Argentina. "This engagement reinforces San Juan's international projection as an attractive destination for mining investment and positions the province as a focal point of interest for major corporations seeking new opportunities in Latin America," the Ministry of Mining reported as a conclusion of the meeting.
