An investors' delegation from Japan along with India's
Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Thursday held a meeting with
the Odisha government on potential partnerships on steel, chemical and
various other industries, an official said.
"Japan has been a
treasured partner of India and Odisha. Our state is committed to build
an everlasting relationship with Japan, both in industrial and cultural
spheres," said Industries Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra.
He also
urged the Japanese firms and investors to come to Odisha and see its
offerings, and promised that the state is ever ready to facilitate and
handhold investors for their proposed investments. Mishra thanked Japan
for being the country partner in the 2nd edition of 'Make in Odisha'.
Chief
Secretary S.C. Mahapatra said, "The officials operating at different
levels are part of Odisha's growth story and we would ensure all kinds
of proactive support to the Japanese investors, not only from initiation
to commissioning of projects, but also for their continued smooth
operation."
Principal Secretary in the Industries Department,
Hemant Sharma, highlighted the industry-specific infrastructures and
opportunities to the Japanese delegates.
"We have natural
advantage in mineral-based industries and we have been able to attract
investment to the tune of Rs 4 lakh crore in the last two years. Because
of the huge investment in infrastructure, ports, rail, roads, power and
skill development, we are a preferred destination for diversified
industries," Sharma told the delegation.
Shringla said, "The case
for Japanese investment in Odisha is well made. The robust
infrastructure, strong political will and enabling bureaucracy coupled
with natural resources are great strengths of Odisha."
He added that the government of India would provide all the required support for successful investments in Odisha.
Satoshi
Suzuki, a member of the Japanese delegation, appreciated Odisha's
efforts in attracting investments from foreign countries, including
considerable Japanese companies. The number of Japanese companies in
Odisha has increased by 5 times in the last 10 years, he said.
Top Japanese diplomats and many representatives of Japanese companies in India attended the meeting.
