Luxembourg Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy Étienne Schneider is currently undertaking a state visit to Tokyo, Japan, from 2-5 March 2018.
Aiming to strengthen international relations and collaborations in the space sector, the visit of Étienne Schneider this month in Tokyo is part of the continuation of the state visit to Japan with HRH the Grand Duke which took place in November 2017.
At the invitation of the Japan Space Agency (JAXA), Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy Étienne Schneider will participate in the second edition of the International Space Exploration Forum (ISEF).
