Japan to support intra-regional links in North Eastern states : Hiramatsu

Shillong, Nov 14 (UNI) Ambassador of Japn to India, Kenji Hiramatsu on Wednesday said Japan aimed to support the development of the intra-regional links in the North Eastern states.
“We take it seriously to enhance connectivity through improvement or construction of roads and bridges. We are aiming to support the development of this region by connecting not only the intra-regional links within the North East, but also the links between the North East and neighboring countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar,” he said.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the third India’s International Cherry Blossom Festival, 2018 here in Meghalaya, Hiramatsu said,“The North East is where our shared vision crystallizes. The North East as a priority is evidenced by the ‘Japan-India Act East Forum.’ This is a unique forum in which we test various ideas for the further development of the North East and put them into action.”
