Hyslop will meet with businesses in Tokyo and Nagasaki to promote Scotland as a place to invest, and aims to reassure investors that the country remains a place to do business in the wake of Brexit.
Last month the external affairs secretary visited Mitsubishi Electric in Livingston ahead of the visit. She is expected to discuss growth plans with current investors during the trip.
“Scotland and Japan have much in common – a wealth of expertise, a passion for innovation, a highly educated and skilled workforce, and a desire for increased international collaboration across all sectors,” Hyslop said.
“There will be much to share and much to discuss during my time there, including providing reassurance that despite the UK’s vote to leave the EU, Scotland remains a progressive, outward-looking internationalist country that is open for business and ripe for investment. I’m confident our dialogue will deliver mutual benefits.”
