Members of the CACCI Presidential visit delegation and of Japan YEG attended the dinner co-hosted by CACCI President Mr. McMullin AM and YEGAP Chairman Mr. Aoki.

Held on 1^st June 2025 at the Blue Birds Rooftop Terrace at The Landmark Osaka Square situated right beside the historical Osaka Castle, one of Japan’s most famous landmarks, the welcome dinner gathered over 100 entrepreneurs from 10 countries across the region including Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Timor-Leste, Philippines, Taiwan and Pakistan.

The welcome dinner provided the attendees the opportunity to introduce themselves to each other and to know more of their businesses and their other interests, thereby setting the stage for more camaraderie over the next two days.

The welcome dinner also marked the launching of the Good Business Network (GBN) founded by Mr. McMullin that aims to bring together businesspersons and encourage them not only to make money but also to undertake initiatives and activities focused on different aspects of social good. The GBN is affiliated with the Good Business Foundation, which was founded by Mr. McMullin “to show that there is another way. Another way to do business and to go forward. A way for us to be citizens not just consumers.” The Foundation supports purpose-driven SME businesses across the globe.
