Guwahati: In a bid to boost Assam’s agriculture, food processing and tourism sectors, NASSCOM Japan Council has expressed its keen interest in a tie-up with the state government in the ‘Start-up, Stand-up’ initiative.
NASSCOM Chief Yukio Takeyari, leading a three-member Japanese delegation, called on Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday and expressed his country’s intent to invest in ‘Start-up and Stand-up’ ventures and give a boost to Assam’s agriculture, food processing and tourism sectors.
Sonowal, while welcoming NASSCOM Japan Council’s endeavour, assured to extend all support from his government that addresses various aspects to stimulate the growth of business ties, a statement said here on Wednesday.
Assam government is in favour of better collaborative relations with NASSCOM Japan Council to extend and clinch a coordinated approach to bolster the well being of India and Japan, Sonowal said. “With this beginning, we will also aim to undertake activities which will make Assam a favoured destination of Japanese investments and make inroads for seamless communication between the two geographical entities,” he said.
Emphasising the need for student exchange and extensive people-to-people contact programme between Assam and Japan, Sonowal said the cultural and racial affinities between the two sides would further strengthen ties. (PTI)
