A JOINT study group is to be established to investigate measures by which India and Japan can strengthen relations.
The Foreign Minister of Japan, Ms Yoriko Kawaguchi, said at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), "We have the potential to be world-class partners through efforts on both sides to get better acquainted, increase our genuine understanding, and show some ingenuity in how we communicate with each other."
She also announced that the FICCI and Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry would jointly organise `Destination India' in Tokyo as an opportunity to attract Japanese companies to India. She further said that it is time for Japan and India to seize the opportunities presenting themselves and shift to concrete action.
She revealed that Indo-Japan trade figures are invariably lower than Indo-China and Indo-Korea, with exports to Japan accounting for a mere 4 per cent of India's total software exports and thus a huge potential to increase the trade figures.
