The Summit successfully attracted participation of top-ranked officials such as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo, Vietnamese Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh, and Governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike as well as ministers of foreign countries and worldwide company CEOs.

The largest ever global women empowerment summit in Tokyo, to discuss practical strategies and practices in improving women’s economic status, contributed to the global recognition about Japan’s positive action to improve women’s business and status conditions, while expanding Tokyo’s involvement in the global agendas.
As both the Prime Minister and Governor of Tokyo put women’s active participation in business at the top of their policy priorities, it can be said that the Summit was held in the right place at the right time.

Highly evaluating the services and hospitality provided by Tokyo, Ms. Irene Natividad, President of Global Summit of Women and Chair of Corporate Women Directors International, commented on the significance of the Summit in Tokyo as follows, “The biggest-ever 2017 Global Summit of Women was held in the country with the third largest economy in the world, where the Prime Minister is a prime advocate for women’s economic empowerment. That is especially significant.
In addition, Tokyo is always a welcoming place for visitors. Everybody is very kind and gracious in paying attention to help us have an enjoyable time. I appreciate this opportunity to come here
.”

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) and Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau (TCVB) jointly contributed to the success of the Summit providing welcome desks at the airports/on-site as well as complimentary city tours and Japanese cultural programs.
