India and Japan share a deep and enduring friendship that has flourished over centuries. Our partnership is built upon a firm foundation of mutual trust, respect and shared values, and it is one of the most promising bilateral partnerships in the world. It is the driving force for innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development in India. I am truly honoured to work in this vibrant country and to contribute to strengthening this special bond through our international cooperation.
India is a dynamic country with unmatched prospects for growth and as an immense source of talent, innovation, and market demand. It is currently progressing steadily and rapidly to realize its vision, Viksit Bharat 2047, of becoming a developed country. However, there are still diverse economic and social development issues that India must overcome.
JICA’s cooperation with India goes beyond addressing the issues related to its development. Our focus is on promoting co-creation between the two countries by accelerating people-to-people exchanges, leveraging both countries’ experiences and technologies to create innovative solutions, and facilitating new partnerships among central and local governments, industries, and academia.
We would like to further explore new sectors where both nations can mutually support and benefit from each other, such as digital transformation (DX), disaster risk management, and industrial development including semiconductors.
In order to achieve our shared goal, JICA is exploring opportunities to collaborate with new and existing partners. Let us join hands and work together to build a brighter future for India, Japan, and for rest of the world.
