　At SAFEA, we received a comment saying, “Our main job is to dispatch people in China to foreign countries for training, and to accept foreign experts to China. Therefore, there is a possibility that SAFEA and JICE will work together as a partner in various fields in the future.” JICE commented that we were looking forward to deepening ties with the SAFEA hereafter.

　Moreover, from December 18th to 20th 2010, we attended the 4th China International Conference for Foreign Labor Service Cooperation, since we received an invitation from the Chinese Academy for International Trade, which was the affiliated organization of Ministry of Commerce in China. It is a large-scale conference where approximately 80 domestic organizations in China and 35 foreign organizations get together. Most of the participants are involved in human resource development, and deployment. In this conference, JICE was given the opportunity to introduce the general outline of our organization, and our achievements in the past. We were able to deepen our relationship with the Chinese firms dispatching human resources.
