Chandigarh : Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that India and Japan have shared a strong strategic and economic partnership for many years. He stated that resilient supply chains can be built in collaboration with Japan to create a next-generation industrial ecosystem, paving the way for a smarter, greener and more prosperous future. The Chief Minister was addressing the Indo-Japan Conclave held in New Delhi on Friday. Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh was also present at the event.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini invited Japanese investors attending the conclave to partner with Haryana in the fields of innovation, manufacturing, technology, sustainability, and future-oriented development. He said that Japan’s advanced technology and cooperation are playing a significant role in several major development projects across India. He stated that if the most vibrant and successful model of India-Japan partnership can be seen in any Indian state, it is Haryana, where Japanese investment, industrial development, and technological cooperation have accelerated growth.
Addressing the conclave, the Chief Minister said that Haryana has today become the largest hub for Japanese industries in India. Nearly 394 Japanese industries and over 600 Japanese business establishments are currently operating in the state. He added that the India-Japan partnership continues to grow stronger. Referring to his visit to Japan in October last year, the Chief Minister said that Japanese companies had responded very positively during the visit. Nine reputed Japanese companies expressed their commitment to invest around Rs. 5,000 crore in Haryana. This trust, he said, is making Haryana a “Home Away From Home” for Japanese companies.
He emphasized that the relationship goes beyond business-to-business or government-to-government ties, and that Haryana gives greater importance to H2H — “Heart to Heart” relationships. The Chief Minister said that India and Japan share a trust-based partnership founded on common values such as trust, discipline, harmony, respect for tradition, and commitment to excellence. In today’s world, trust-based partnerships are the most valuable.
