History and Activities
The British-Japanese All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) was established in the early 1980s.
The Group enjoys active cross-party participation from MPs, Peers, Ministers and Diplomats.
Each year the APPG seeks to deliver a programme of activities that underpins its mission. Every two years the group aims to run a Mission to Japan.
It is currently one of the largest, official cross-party 'Country Groups' in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
