In September 2019, Brussels and Tokyo adopted the „EU-Japan Partnership for Sustainable Connectivity and Better Infrastructure.“ The EU-Japan infrastructure agreement will be backed by a 60 billion euro EU guarantee fund, which, after the Brussels announcement, will attract new investment from development banks and private investors.
