Launched in January 2010, the scheme is designed to promote exchanges between the young people of Japan and Hong Kong so they can gain a deeper understanding of each other's culture and society. Japan is one of the most-favoured tourist destinations for Hongkongers, and is also the city's third-largest trading partner.
