Tokyo, August 29 – In a powerful and optimistic tone, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed business leaders in Tokyo today, highlighting not just numbers and policies, but a vision—of how India and Japan, two democratic powerhouses, can together shape the future of Asia and beyond.
Landing in Tokyo on a two-day diplomatic and economic visit, PM Modi’s message was clear: this is not just about trade, it’s about trust, transformation, and mutual triumph.
Speaking at the India-Japan Economic Forum, Modi shared an inspiring narrative of India’s rising economic momentum. “In India, capital does not just grow—it multiplies,” he said with conviction, painting a picture of a nation where opportunity meets stability.
He emphasized that India offers more than just economic returns—it offers predictability in policy, transparency in governance, and stability in politics. These, he suggested, are essential ingredients for any long-term investment and partnership.
Modi described a promising future where Japan’s technological excellence meets India’s demographic scale and talent, calling it the perfect recipe for innovation and inclusive growth. “Together, we can lead the technology revolution of this century,” he asserted.
Reflecting on the long-standing friendship between the two countries, Modi noted that Japan has been a constant partner in India’s development—be it in infrastructure, manufacturing, or metro systems. “From semiconductors to start-ups, the India-Japan partnership is built on mutual trust,” he added.
He called on Japanese businesses to see India not just as a destination, but as a springboard to the Global South. With shared democratic values and strategic vision, he urged both nations to deepen their cooperation in areas like robotics, AI, biotech, semiconductors, ship-building, and even nuclear energy.
Modi concluded with a heartfelt reminder: “India and Japan are not just economic partners—we are collaborators in shaping a stable, prosperous, and peaceful Asian century.”
