"As Japan continues to increase its support for infrastructure development across the Asia region,the strategic partnership formed by AECOM and Oriental Consultants Global will bring together our respective expertise,experience and insights to fulfil the transformational and often extremely complex projects that are being envisioned," said Mr. Chiao."Our joint business plan includes formalizing mutual growth objectives aligned with the US-Japan Partnership for Infrastructure Investment in Third Countries."

"In an effort to build upon the U.S.-Japan Partnership,we're proud to partner with AECOM to further develop transformative infrastructure projects across Asia," said Mr. Yonezawa.

The U.S.-Japan Partnership for Infrastructure Investment in Third Countries has been developed to address development challenges,increase connectivity,and promote economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Since the U.S.-Japan partnership,there has been a significant increase in overseas investment by Japanese public and private organizations," said Saito Hiroshi,head of Japanese overseas investment at AECOM. "In partnership with OCG,we are well-suited to help high-growth nations across Asia create safer,cleaner and more connected communities."
