Mr. Nobuhiko Yamaguchi commented, “Osaka aims to expand economic and human resource exchanges with India, leveraging our central location and dynamic business environment. We are eager to welcome more skilled professionals from India to Osaka. Our city offers opportunities in various sectors, including healthcare, and provides an affordable living environment and supportive community. This visit will bolster our industrial, business, and cultural ties, fostering mutual growth and understanding.”

We are pleased to see Osaka’s commitment to facilitating a seamless exchange of resources between our nations. This collaboration will open doors for numerous skilled professionals and promote ethical migration, thereby strengthening diplomatic relations. Together, we can achieve mutual growth and prosperity.”

Shri Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of NSDC and Managing Director of NSDC International, added, “Our countries share more than business ties; our people-to-people connections can bridge cultures and foster mutual growth. We are committed to building centers of excellence in India where Indian youth can embrace Japanese work culture. Through this forum, we aim to develop infrastructure to train Indian youth in Japan. Envision a future where engines made in Japan are crafted by Indian hands.”
