Gandhinagar, 11 February 2013

Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi today held one-to-one meeting with a delegation led by Japan’s senior Vice Minister Shri Hiroshi Kajiyama in capital Gandhinagar. Both leaders discussed mutual partnership in newer areas of development.

During his meeting with Japan’s Senior Vice Minister for Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Chief Minister Shri Modi said that for Japanese companies, Gujarat would be the best place for developing rail-equipment manufacturing sector.

As Vadodara has become an engineering and manufacturing hub in Gujarat, the Chief Minister suggested that Japan with its technical experience can form partnership with Vadodara’s MS University in the area of research and skill development.

“Gujarat’s coastal trade-way will be useful for Japanese companies to influence European market,” he said.
