Intensifying the historically strong bilateral relations between the two nations, Indian and Japanese officials held talks on increasing co-operation in Indian infrastructure sector. India has been a major beneficiary of Japanese cooperation through Japan Bank for International Co-operation (JBIC) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

A high level delegation led by Japanese Minister for Land Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), Takeshi Maeda met C P Joshi, Minister of Road Transport and Highways and discussed bilateral cooperation in infrastructure sector with special reference to road construction. A Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) which is being prepared by India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is in the process of finalizing which will be signed by Japanese minister of MLIT.

The proposed MOC will enable India and Japan to exchange technical knowledge and expertise in the Road Transportation and Highways sector including capacity building and advanced technology for road transport management system and intelligent transport system. Japanese companies have been participating in National Highways Development Programme (NHDP) of India as Supervision Consultants. Four projects have already been completed where their performance has been satisfactory.

The Japanese minister of MLIT also held extensive talks with Dinesh Trivedi, Indian Minister of Railways on bilateral issues in the field of rail transportation and various aspects of high speed train corridors. Japan’s External Trade Organisation and Oriental Consultancy along with Parsons Brinkhoff India have secured the contract to conduct pre-feasibility study of the Hyderabad-Vijayawada-Chennai corridor, one of the six corridors identified by Indian Railways for high speed train operations.

Union Minister of Shipping GK Vasan also was called upon by Takeshi Maeda for discussion on bilateral issues concerning the port and shipping sectors and other issues of mutual interest like ship-breaking, ship-building, connectivity projects to ports and exchange programmes, etc. Specific issues relating to development projects with respect to connectivity to the ports, draft, new berths, terminals and other facilities especially relating to Chennai and Ennore ports were also discussed.
