Ambassador's Message

On October 23rd, 2024, I assumed the position of Ambassador of Japan to India.

It is a great pleasure and honor to work in India, which boasts the world's largest population, vast territory, and a long and rich history and culture. In fulfilling my duties, I would like to take to heart that the most important mission of the Embassy is ensuring the safety and security of Japanese residents.

Japan and India share the ideal of a “free and open Indo-Pacific” and bear a great responsibility for the peace and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region and the international community. Both countries are also important partners who need each other in every aspect, including in politics, diplomacy, security, and economy. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Special Strategic and Global Partnership between the two countries. I consider it my duty to further develop and deepen this relationship, building upon the efforts made to date by both of those Japanese and Indian concerned.

The relationship between our two countries covers a wide range of fields, including investment, business, infrastructure development, and human resource development, and Japanese nationals and Japanese companies are making an active impact in each of these areas. I believe that it is my key responsibility to support the activities of Japanese companies, including those planning to enter the Indian market in the future, and I look forward to close coordination and cooperation.

It is the people-to-people exchanges between both countries that bolster such cooperative relations. As Ambassador, I will work sincerely to strengthen the ties between the people of Japan and India, and I will also provide solid support to the Japanese people who have been involved in grassroots exchanges between our two countries for many years. I look forward to working together with you to develop further Japan-India relations.
