Welcome to the site of the Mexico-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement office, Embassy of Mexico in Japan:

Mexico and Japan implemented an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) on April 1st , 2005. The EPA is a comprehensive free trade agreement that has contributed to the expansion of commerce, investment, and tourism between the two countries. Japan represents the most important market for Mexican exports in Asia; and, Mexico is the most important destination for Japanese exports in Latin America. Moreover, cumulative Japanese company investments in Mexico total more than US$ 10 billion for the past decade, in sectors as diverse as automotive, electronics, electric, energy, agribusiness, transportation, real estate, and services.

Japanese manufacturing companies operating in Mexico are selling their products in the United States and Canada, accessing those markets under preferential tariff rates thanks to Mexico´s membership to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Mexico is a leading global supply chain center in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and renewable energy equipment, which is attracting a growing number of Japanese manufacturers to Mexico.

The representative office of Mexico's Secretary of Economy in Japan was established in 2005 as part of the Embassy of Mexico in Tokyo. The office oversees the implementation of the EPA and promotes expansion of business and investments between Mexico and Japan. <Office mission>
