The JDZB is a non-profit organization. It has two governing bodies, the Board of Executives and the Foundation Council. Both countries are equally represented in the governing bodies, which meet annually, alternating between Germany and Japan. The meetings are preceded by government consultations on the contributions of both countries to the JDZB’s annual budget.
