Guwahati:
The north eastern part of India is situated where India s Act East policy and Japan s vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific converge, said Satoshi Suzuki, the Japanese Ambassador to India.
Speaking during an event here, Suzuki said: I would start by stressing how much grateful the Japanese people are to India. Japan could not have risen from the ashes of the Second World War without the kind support of India.
He added that India had offered reconciliation to Japan following the events of the Second World War, for which Japan was indebted.

Across our states and cities, Japanese official development systems have funded roads, rails, urbanisation and energy, said Jaishankar during an event at the water purification plant in Kharghuli. Asserting that Japan was the original model for the revival of nation post-colonialism, the minister said a cumulative impact of this relationship on contemporary India is worth noting. It is actually remarkable that within a decade, the India-Japan partnership is today seen in Asia, perhaps in the world, as most natural and close. The awarding of Padma Vibhushan to previous (Japan) PM Shinzo Abe was symbolic of our journey, he added.
