"I am very pleased and honoured to meet and hold discussions with the delegation from IPA. International collaboration in between the EU and Japan, as well as with the rest of the world, exchange of best practices, and liaison is imperative for raising cyber security standards worldwide. We have shared ideas and good practices with IPA in the past, and this visit is further proof of the trusted and productive relationship our organisations enjoy.”
