Today, from the bullet train in Gujarat-Maharashtra to the Rudraksha centre in Banaras, many development projects are examples of Indo-Japan friendship. And when it comes to this friendship, every Indian definitely remembers our friend, former Prime Minister Late Shinzo Abe.”

He expressed hope that in continuation of Abe’s legacy, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will take forward the relationship between the two nations. “When Abe Shan came to Gujarat, the time he spent here is fondly remembered by the people of Gujarat. Today PM Kishida is taking forward the efforts he made to bring our countries closer,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi stressed that the relations that exist between Gujarat and Japan have always been higher than only diplomatic ties. “I remember when the Vibrant Gujarat Summit was started in 2009, since then Japan has been associated with it as a partner country,” the Prime Minister said.

“The success of Maruti-Suzuki also signifies the strong India-Japan partnership. In the last eight years, these relations between our two countries have reached new heights,” he added.The Prime Minister further spoke extensively about the benefits of electric vehicles. “One of the great features of electric vehicles is that they are silent. Be it a 2-wheeler or a 4-wheeler, they don’t make any noise. This silence is not only about its engineering, but it is also the beginning of a silent revolution in the country.”

India has announced in COP-26 that it will achieve 50 PC of its installed electrical capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030 and we have set a ‘Net Zero’ target for 2070, PM Modi added.
