Parliamentary Vice-Minister Ishii Holds Meeting with Mr. Bhajanlal Sharma, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Republic of India

As the home to about 180 business bases of Japanese companies, the State of Rajasthan is an important one for the Japanese manufacturing industry.

Parliamentary Vice-Minister Ishii stated that Japan hopes to work with Rajasthan to promote personnel exchanges in a wide variety of fields and to encourage Japanese companies developing business in India to expand their business in third countries, including in Africa, as efforts taking advantage of the Initiative for Japan-India Industry Co-Creation released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in July 2023. Moreover, the two sides also exchanged views on solving challenges such as water scarcity, power outages, and maintenance of electricity infrastructure in Neemrana Industrial Park in order to further strengthen Japan-Rajasthan economic ties.
