The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has stated that a 10 member delegation from small and medium enterprise (SME) sector will be visiting Japan soon. Japanese manufacturing companies will be on the panel of interaction with the delegation. The exchange of thoughts will be illuminating for both sides. It will also be the right moment to express India’s sorrow over the triple disaster that had hit Japan earlier this year.

The Japan visit will be organized by CII- Avantha Centre for competitiveness of SMEs. The CII’s Visionary Leaders for Manufacturing (VLFM) Programmed comprising of another 50-member delegation will assemble at SME Expo Sougouten in Kobe area on May 27.

Indian delegations represent Indian businesses and the Indian society. The CII venue will be the place where the members will congregate to express their heart-felt sorrow at the devastation that had struck Japan earlier this year. India stands committed to increase its business ties with Japan and will keep supporting Japan in its bad times.

After the natural disaster, Japan has been lagging in terms of economic engagement with other Nations. The manufacturing sector of India, however, remains unbent in its commitment to enhance business exchanges with Japan.

The VLFM programmed that is being implemented under the aegis of governments of Japan and India, makes it essential for the visit of a delegation to Japan every year to learn lessons from the Japanese Manufacturing Oriented Society. The participants of VLFM will pay visits to Japanese manufacturing companies, interact with Japanese experts and visit SME Expo Sougouten.
