Japan actively promotes cooperation with civil society and NGOs in tackling SALW
issues through continuous consultations with NGOs on exchange of information and
sharing experiences.
Japan invites major NGOs to the seminars and workshops, sponsored by Japan and organized a seminar in collaboration with an NGO in 2009.
