On May 19, the 2020 General Meeting was held remotely via Zoom. There were three proposals: (1) business report and income and expenditure report for fiscal 2019, (2) business plan and income and expenditure budget for fiscal 2020, and (3) election of officers, all of which were approved without incident.

A total of 31 people participated, including full members, associate members, and observers. We received words of encouragement from Mr. Miyasaka, Manager of the Overseas Project Promotion Division, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

OPPS will continue to actively discover overseas PPP projects this fiscal year, and deepen information sharing and exchanges among members.

　5月19日、Zoomによるリモート会議で2020年度の通常総会を開催しました。議案は①2019年度事業報告・収支報告、②2020年度事業計画・収支予算、③役員選任についての３つで、いずれも無事に承認を頂きました。

　正会員、準会員及びオブザーバーをあわせ、31名の方にご参加頂きました。国土交通省海外プロジェクト推進課の宮坂課長から励ましのお言葉を頂きました。

　OPPSは今年度も引き続き、海外PPP案件の発掘を積極的に進め、会員間の情報共有及び交流を深めて参ります。

The 5th meeting of the OPPS Forum was held on April 15th for the purpose of mutual exchange and information sharing among members. Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, it was the first remote meeting using Zoom. A total of 30 people from 10 regular member companies and 2 associate member companies participated.

There was a report on the international forum that I participated in in February, a report on project screening tool development, a survey report on construction-related companies, and information sharing on new overseas PPP projects. In the future, it will continue to be difficult to hold meetings in one place, but we will proceed with project formation using screening tools.
