India and Japan are jointly developing eastern waterways transport connecting India, Bangladesh and Myanmar for trade.
This was said by Indian External Affair Minister Dr S Jaishankar on Monday. He was speaking on India s act east policy and cooperation with Japan in northeast India and beyond land borders. Our initiatives are today once again making the Brahmaputra River the primary channel for movement of goods and people. Assam will connect the Himalayas with the Bay of Bengal through inland water connectivity to the main ports there especially Chittagong (Chattogram) and Mongla, he said.

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Monday said a closer India-Japan partnership is most natural and has had a central place in India s modernisation and development efforts. It has long been involved in expansion of our economic and social infrastructure. 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.
