ODA policy of Japanese government

We should remember that when Japan lay almost in ruins half a century ago just after the last world war, foreign aid helped Japan in order to rebuild and lay the foundations for the present prosperity which Japanese people enjoy today.

Japanese ODA can not only make Japan win the confidence and appreciation from the international communities, but also ensures Japanfs own stability and prosperity by promoting Japanfs best interests, including the maintenance of world peace and the importation of resources such as energy, food, and other basic materials.
