Organizing purpose of Joint Industry Outreach Seminar(by METI 2015) In recent years, the procurement activities of goods and technologies related to Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMDs) by the entities of concern, including countries of concern and terrorist groups, have increased sophistication by utilising the means of such as export circumvention or the use of alias. Asian countries and regions are facing increased risk as a point of production or transshipment of WMDs by entities of concern. In order to effectively prevent the proliferation of WMDs as well as to maintain the international security, it is necessary to implement rigorous export control in concert amongst Asian counties and regions. Based on this situation, Japan has been organizing “Joint Industry Outreach Seminar” from 2003 JFY that aims to enhance the effectiveness of the export control of the local firms in Asian countries as well as Japanese firms in that country, and “Asian Export Control Seminar” from 1993 JFY that aims to assist export control officers in Asian countries and regions.
