Appointment of the next Deputy Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Japan welcomes the decision made at the Council of the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on November 18 that Mr. MASAKI Yasushi, Ambassador of
Japan to
Indonesia, will assume the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the
OECD on December 1.
The OECD is one of the most trusted and authoritative international organizations for
Japan, and
Japan expects Mr. MASAKI will make good use of his experience and work to expand the activities of the
OECD.
Japan pays tribute to Mr. TAKEUCHI Yoshiki, the former
OECD Deputy-Secretary General, who left office, for the significant contribution he made during his tenure at the
OECD.
Japan will continue to strongly support the
OECD, led by Mr. Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General of the
OECD, and will further strengthen and enhance cooperation with the
OECD that is leading the discussion of the international community with its high-quality data and analysis.
