History
The Europe, Middle East and Africa Branch was created in 1986, within the Trade Expansion Division of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. It resulted from the division of the former International Offices Branch into four new branches: the China and South Asia Branch; the Europe, Middle East and Africa Branch; the US and Latin America Branch; and the Pacific Rim Branch. These four new branches in turn formed part of the Industry and Trade Expansion Division.
The branch maintained offices in Frankfurt, London, and Paris.
In 1989, the Europe, Middle East and Africa Branch acquired the South Asia components of the China and South Asia Branch and was replaced by the Europe, Middle East and South Asia Branch.
