The Union Minister for Commerce, Industry and Textiles Shri Anand Sharma is on a two-day visit to Tokyo for a comprehensive review of bilateral economic engagement with Japan, ahead of Dr. Manmohan Singh’s visit to Tokyo.
Today, he called upon Japanese PM Mr. Shinzo Abe, and apprised him of the progress made in the implementation of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project, which was conceptualised in the 2007 visit of Mr. Abe to India. Mr Abe expressed satisfaction on the amount of work put into the project and mentioned that Japanese companies are looking forward to partner with India in project implementation. Japan has already committed USD 4.5 billion in the first phase of project implementation. The Government of India has committed an equal amount for development of trunk infrastructure for creation of new industrial townships along the corridor. Shri Sharma informed the Japanese Prime Minister that currently Japan has already taken 26% equity in the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation creating a new paradigm of economic cooperation based on collaboration in innovation, technology and manufacturing under the framework of the strategic global partnership between the two countries. Shri Sharma mentioned that India was looking forward to welcoming the Emperor and Empress of Japan to India during this year.
Shri Sharma also met Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and expressed satisfaction on the healthy growth of trade after the signing of Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two countries. However, he flagged concerns of India relating to mounting trade deficit and specially urged for market access for Indian agricultural and marine produce and Indian pharmaceuticals. The Japanese pharma market is projected to grow to USD 100 billion and Indian generics can play a key role in providing affordable healthcare.
Shri Sharma also met the Japanese Minister of Economy Trade and Industry, Mr. Toshimitsu Motegi, which provided an opportunity for a comprehensive review of the DMIC project including the implementation of the early bird projects.
Top Japanese company CEOs including those from Mitsubishi, Hitachi, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) made a detailed presentation to Shri Sharma on the progress of the project implementation. The CEO of Japan Bank of International Cooperation (JBIC), Mr. Hiroshi Watanabe also met Shri Sharma assuring him of full financial support for the DMICDC project and other infrastructure projects in India.

Duterte proposes another UN August 21, 2016 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations today after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organisation. Duterte also said the Philippines will invite China and African nations to form another global organisation in place of United Nations, as world body is not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism. There appears to be human rights working for terrorist and mafia in third world to keep their states in dire state. Two UN human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the Presidency.
