In its balance of payments accounts, Japan has traditionally run a deficit in services. Trade in services includes transportation (freight and passenger fares), insurance, travel expenditures, royalties, licensing fees, and income from investments. The deficit in services rose steadily from US$99 million in 1960, to nearly US$1.8 billion in 1970 and to more than US$11.3 billion in 1980 which can be attributed to rising royalty and licensing payments for Japan's acquisition of technology from other industrial countries and to rising deficits in the trade-related services of transportation and insurance. The transportation deficit rose after the 1960s, as rapidly climbing labor costs made Japanese-flag vessels less competitive, leading to greater use of foreign-flag carriers (including many flag-of-convenience vessels actually owned by Japanese interests). ...more on Wikipedia about "Balance of payments accounts of Japan (1960-90)"

Germany was similarly criticized. ...more on Wikipedia about "Checkbook diplomacy"
In its economic relations, Japan is both a major trading nation and one of the largest international investors in the world. In many respects, international trade is the lifeblood of Japan's economy. Imports and exports totaling the equivalent of nearly US$522 billion in 1990 meant that Japan was the world's third largest trading nation after the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). Trade was once the primary form of Japan's international economic relationships, but in the 1980s its rapidly rising foreign investments added a new and increasingly important dimension, broadening the horizons of Japanese businesses and giving Japan new world prominence. ...more on Wikipedia about "Economic relations of Japan" My http://www.shortopedia.com and me.

Japan has three government institutions involved in disbursing foreign aid: the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF), and the Japan Export-Import Bank (Exim Bank). JICA is responsible for technical cooperation; the OECF is responsible for soft loans; and the Exim Bank has not only a trade-financing role but also has become increasingly involved in lending for aid programs. The Exim Bank, for example, was the government agency chosen to carry out US$10 billion in cofinancing with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the 1989 Brady Plan for partial relief of Mexico's international debt. ...more on Wikipedia about "Foreign aid institutions of Japan"
The primary responsibility for the Japanese foreign policy, as determined by the 1947 constitution, is exercised by the cabinet and subject to the overall supervision of the National Diet. The prime minister is required to make periodic reports on foreign relations to the Diet, whose upper and lower houses each have a foreign affairs committee. Each committee reports on its deliberations to plenary sessions of the chamber to which it belongs. Ad hoc committees are formed occasionally to consider special questions. Diet members have the right to raise pertinent policy questions—officially termed interpellations—to the minister of foreign affairs and the prime minister. Treaties with foreign countries require ratification by the Diet. As head of state, the emperor performs the ceremonial function of receiving foreign envoys and attesting to foreign treaties ratified by the Diet. ...more on Wikipedia about "Foreign policy of Japan"

The following is a chronological list of British heads of mission ( ministers and ambassadors) in Japan, 1859– 2004. Before 1905 there were no ambassadors exchanged between the two countries, the highest rank being envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary — a rank just below ambassador. Before 1859 there was no treaty and no diplomatic relations, because Japan was isolated from the world by the Tokugawa shogunate's policy of national isolation called sakoku (literally chained country). ...more on Wikipedia about "Heads of the United Kingdom Mission in Japan"

Japan regards international cooperation within the United Nations (UN) framework as a basic principle of its foreign policy. When Japan joined the UN in 1956, it did so with great enthusiasm and broad public support, for the international organization was seen to embody the pacified country's hopes for a peaceful world order. Membership was welcomed by many Japanese who saw the UN as a guarantor of a policy of unarmed neutrality for their nation. To others, support for the UN would be useful in masking or diluting Japan's almost total dependence on the United States for its security. The government saw the UN as an ideal arena for its riskminimizing, omnidirectional foreign policy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Japan and the United Nations"

(Japan-Oceania relations) By 1990 Japanese involvement in the newly independent island nations of Oceania increased due to rising commercial and strategic interests. Japan's rapidly growing aid to the South Pacific was seen by many as a response to United States calls for greater burden-sharing and to the adoption of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea, which gave states legal control over fishery resources within their 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zones. The US$98.3 million that Japan provided in aid to the region in 1989 was fourth behind France, Australia and the United States but was significantly more than was provided by New Zealand and Britain. Japanese companies also invested heavily in the tourism industry in the island nations. ...more on Wikipedia about "Japan-Oceania relations"
