Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that Japan has been a key ally in India’s economic growth and is the 5th largest source of foreign investment.
Addressing the India-Japan Economy and Investment Forum in New Delhi yesterday, Mr. Goyal said that Foreign Direct Investment from Japan has exceeded 43 billion dollars between 2000 and 2024. He mentioned that India and Japan share a globally recognized strategic partnership rooted in brotherhood, democracy, culture, and economic cooperation.
