In his address, Jaishankar said that Japan has had a huge impact on India and in many ways, Japan is an “exemplary moderniser” for India. Speaking at the India-Japan Forum in the presence of Yoshimasa Hayashi, Jaishankar said, “What really does Japan means to India? Japan is in many ways the exemplary moderniser… It is an example of relevance. It’s also a country for which there is a lot of goodwill in history. Today under PM Modi, we also had great modernisation. A self-reliant India.”

“Japan is a natural partnership in this modernising India. Japan has truly unleashed the revolution in India. The Suzuki revolution! The second revolution was the metro revolution. The third revolution is the high-speed rail in making. The fourth revolution is in critical and emerging technologies and semiconductors,” he added.
