Tamaki has significantly contributed to developing economic relations between Lithuania and Japan, promoting Lithuania's export, making the country's name known in Japan, attracting tourists, and establishing scientific contacts.
Important areas of JLEC activity include establishing and strengthening relations between municipalities in Japan and Lithuania, assisting in organizing visits of Lithuanian business delegations to Japan and of Japanese business delegations to Lithuania, mediating when searching for new business contacts, raising awareness of Lithuania by using the mass media in Japan and social networks, helping to present Lithuania during fairs and exhibitions in Japan, as well as preparing and publishing catalogs of Lithuanian exporters for international exhibitions in the Japanese language.
With its members and volunteers in various cities across Japan, JLEC plays an important role in assisting the Embassy of Lithuania both in Tokyo and in more remote regions of Japan.
