    leveraging on OECD’s strength in terms of its richness of data and
    analytical capabilities.
 2. Mr. Johnston expressed gratitude to Japan for its efforts to organize the

 3. Both sides agreed to deepen collaboration, noting that having contributions
    from the business sector is crucial for the success of the MCM.
