Technology and Research Center (CATARC) delivered speeches entitled,
respectively, "Development of China Vehicle Regulation &
Industrial Policy" and "Development of Chinese Motor
Vehicle Standards & Regulations."
The speeches were followed by active discussions with other participants
on a wide range of topics, including, not only issues relating
to the 1958 Agreement, but also the status of the CCC certification
program currently implemented in China, the ideal compulsory standards
in the future, and industrial policies regarding motorcycles.
The forum thus strengthened mutual understanding between the policy-makers
of Japan and China.
In addition, a reception party was held for about two hours after
the forum, and further opinion exchanges took place at the party
with regard to the details of individual issues. The forum and
the party together helped the participants build a better mutual
relationship.
