  1. My key takeaway is – let's open the local internal economy – by removing – all business hurdles… immediately

    "land distribution & land development" as a key resource must be encouraged at a large level – not only for industrialisation but to promote Iitianas/ aspirants individual entrepreneurs to establish modern workshop/ machine learning coaching centres/ agriculture logistics facilities / portable farming / modern low cost housing/ etc

    Key country for Indian support – UAE/ Singapore / *Japan / Russia/ UK /Germany /Taiwan/ Dubai+ other like minded nations that includes Africans countries

  2. This interview just proves that it's not just the Indians, but everyone can see the hypocrisy in the US actions/tariffs.
    If you still can't see it, you will very soon; Trump is basically bringing the whole Global South together

  3. Apart from tech and industries japan can help india in building urban infrastructure, health care, public infrastructure and japan will benifit from investing in india

  4. India’s visit to Japan signals not only to the US but also to China: “We are not alone; we have alternatives. Do not take our approach for granted.”

  5. Japan is a technological hub. Domestically it got saturated but Japan's businesses all are mostly away from Japan. To create balance in trade, monopoly and dominance of one country i.e., China, Japan need to increase its presence and strength in india as per the relative competition from other countries.

  6. Japan joints brics why they pay tarrif of japanese people america wants to just BULLY the small country it was just like china nothing else what deffence between China and America so joint brics country…..and make asia greater again

  7. India's security is just fine, japan relies heavily on US…and they should become more self reliant in defense ……plus have joint defense pacts with India, Australia, EU.

  8. Japan has invested heavily in India in last 25 years from urban infrastructure to manufacturing and now flagship bullet train project, indiaamd Japan is two most natural ally in Asia,

  9. 🙏 Our Barath Rushi Maharshi's Blessings for India having such a Great Leader as PM Modiji.
    USA's Karma which they
    have've been hunted down as a Kaalan by the Trump Bully in disguise..!!

  10. India must work very closely with Japan to effectively leverage on each other's strength.
    The trust level has always been very high & this augurs well for the future.
    Do not fear TACO Trump the crude bully!

  11. Money doesn't grow it multiplies in India, if you don't believe, then check Vodafone Idea share price.. 🤪, Invest in India, open business in India and then Indian govt. will takeover your business.

  12. Stop china from buying venezuela and russian oil first. if we buy from venezuela usa will sanction us if we buy from russia then too.Why india?Are americans scared of china?

  13. The Japanese understand how to manage a 4-year term, but in India, it’s treated as though we are dealing with a king. This difficult mindset reflects the fact that we still haven’t broken free from the British Raj mentality.
