Mr. Sakamoto thanked for the welcome and expressed the wish of Japan to invest in concrete projects in BiH in the fields of environmental protection, health, education and culture. He officially invited Mr. Brkić to visit Japan this year.
He suggested that the visit is made within the framework of bilateral consultations between the Japanese and BiH foreign ministries, the BiH MFA said.
