Within this scope, besides the joint meetings held since the foundation of the Business Council, a joint mission to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan was organized in April 1993. Investment seminars were held in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo in October 1994. The second joint mission to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Georgia was held in September 1997.
