Question
I am attending a business meeting in Tokyo next week, and I want to politely express my gratitude to my Japanese colleagues at the end of the meeting. How do I say “Thank you for your cooperation” in Japanese?

ご協力（きょうりょく）ありがとうございました。
Gokyouryoku arigatou gozaimashita.
Thank you for your cooperation.
This is a polite expression commonly used in business settings to thank someone for their help or collaboration. “Gokyouryoku” means “your cooperation,” and “arigatou gozaimashita” is the past polite form of “thank you,” often used after completing an event or activity.
It’s a useful phrase to show appreciation, especially in professional environments. Keep it in mind when working with Japanese colleagues!
