Tokyo (Japan): Yogi Adityanath arrived in Tokyo on Wednesday for a two-day official visit to Japan aimed at promoting investment opportunities and accelerating industrial growth in Uttar Pradesh.
The visit, scheduled for February 25–26, will see the Chief Minister participate in key meetings and business interactions focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation and attracting Japanese investments to the state.
Sharing a message after landing in Tokyo, Adityanath greeted Japan, referring to it as the “land of the rising sun,” and highlighted the cultural connection between India and Japan.
The Japan visit follows his recent engagements in Singapore, where the Uttar Pradesh government secured major investment commitments. A day earlier, the Chief Minister said the state had received investment proposals worth up to ₹1 lakh crore during meetings in Singapore, with Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth ₹60,000 crore already finalised.
In a post shared on X, the Chief Minister’s office stated that these investments would play a crucial role in achieving the goal of transforming Uttar Pradesh into a $1 trillion economy.
During an investor roadshow in Singapore, Adityanath pitched Uttar Pradesh as a secure and rapidly growing destination for global investors. Assuring business leaders of a supportive environment, he said every investment in the state is protected and backed by strong governance.
He emphasised that Uttar Pradesh has built a new identity centred on development, infrastructure expansion and ease of doing business.
Highlighting India’s broader economic trajectory, Adityanath said the country has made significant progress under the leadership of Narendra Modi and is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy.
He added that Uttar Pradesh’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) has grown from ₹13 lakh crore to ₹36 lakh crore over the past nine years, contributing nearly 9.5 per cent to India’s GDP. The Chief Minister described the state as a “dream destination” for investors and a top performer in Ease of Doing Business and deregulation rankings.
