News Desk, News Nation 360 : With great success, the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce held a special session on "Overview of Japan-India Relationship and Furthering Economic & Business Relationship between Japan and India." Along with important dignitaries from the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. NAKAGAWA Koichi, the Hon'ble Consul General of Japan in Kolkata, honoured the occasion. The gathering offered a forum for enlightening conversations about the changing nature of trade relations between the two nations, with an emphasis on collaborations in important industries like technology, infrastructure, and autos. With total Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of $41.91 billion from April 2000 to March 2024, Japan is notably India's fifth-largest investor. The president of the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce, Hari Shankar Halwasiya, extended a hearty welcome to everyone in attendance and shared information about the close political, economic, and cultural links that exist between Japan and India. The event was a component of the Japan Month celebrations, which the Japanese Embassy in India organised to encourage trade, investment, and cultural contacts between the two countries. The occasion emphasised the roles played by Japanese corporations in India, including Sony, Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi, as well as the important roles played by Indian enterprises in Japan, including Infosys, TCS, and Sun Pharma. With the help of Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA), which has been crucial to the success of projects like the Delhi Metro and the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed train, both nations are collaborating closely to improve their infrastructure synergies.
