Hokkaido Toyako Summit

Osaka International Convention Center

Osaka, which boasts a comprehensive urban infrastructure that includes a 24-hour international airport, an extensive expressway network, and a large number of international first-class hotels, also has an impressive record of hosting international gatherings in which prominent world leaders have taken part, beginning with the APEC Osaka Meeting of 1995. The administration and business community, together with the enterprising residents of Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City, extend a warm welcome to all conference participants who visit Osaka.

Within Japan, which is the only Asian nation participating in the G8 Summit, Osaka can claim a particularly long and deep history of exchanges with the rest of Asia. Osaka reveals its existence to Asia and to the rest of the world by offering the sort of hospitality that only Osaka can.
