Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called on Japanese businesses to expand their investments in India, pitching the country as a hub for global manufacturing and innovation.
Speaking at the India-Japan Joint Economic Forum in Tokyo, PM Modi highlighted that Japanese companies have already invested over $40 billion in India. He welcomed Japan’s commitment of 10 trillion yen (around $68 billion) over the next decade to strengthen bilateral cooperation in sectors like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, environment, and medicine.
Emphasizing India and Japan’s role in shaping global growth, PM Modi said, “Together, we can make a significant contribution to the development of the Global South, especially Africa. I urge you — come, make in India, make for the world. The success stories of Suzuki and Daikin can become your success stories too.”
