Common challenges in both countries, like the deceleration of the population growth rate and the continuous ageing of the population, as recently showed in Brazil by the 2022 Census, as well as differences and similarities between the statistical offices and how the countries can help each other by interchanging knowledge were some of the subjects of the meeting.

Counting of the number of Japanese migrants in Brazil and of Brazilians in Japan, and complexities in themes like registration and descent, and how Census data can be used in this matter, were also discussed.

Roberto Sant’Anna, IBGE´s Manager of International Relations, emphasized the importance of the visit of the ambassador to the IBGE´s headquarters. “It is always a deference to host an ambassador in our headquarters. It is a signal of respect, correlation and support and Japan does it regularly, either through its ambassador or its consul in Rio de Janeiro. It is a relationship that always opens doors and I believe that this happened once again with this visit,” stated Sant’Anna, adding that Ambassador Teiji greeted President Pochmann for his appointment to the Presidency of the IBGE.
