"Ho Chi Minh Japanese friendship Club" was established at the end of 1993 for Japanese local companies and was renamed to "Japanese Commerce and Industry of Ho Chi Minh City" (JCIA) on April 1, 1994 along with the expansion of the organization.

There were 69 corporate members as of April 15, 1994 and we started to register with Vietnamese government as well as expand the range of our activities.

On May 17, 1998, the organization name was changed to The Japanese Business Association of Ho Chi Minh City and on Sep 28, 1998 was accepted by Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee as an official organization accompanied with American, Australian and British Chamber of Commerce.
Our philosophy is "To contribute to the development of Vietnamese economy, expand and promote the normal economical activities between Japan and Vietnam", and we keep working on it.
