9,375,000 yen [Grant Project]
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII/India)
In this project, a total of four (two at a time) Indian parliamentarians will be invited to Japan twice a year, with main constituents being young members of the Parliament, regardless of whether the upper or lower house, who will be selected on a supra-partisan basis. The project has multiple objectives. First, it aims to offer forum of discussion for multitudes of communities including political, administrative, business and otherwise. Second, it seeks to explore areas where mutual cooperation is possible. Finally, it aims to contribute to forming a network linking Japanese and Indian legislative, political, administrative and business leaders. Furthermore, public relations of this project and maintenance of the network built amongst the participants will be continuously pursued throughout the year.
The following activities are planned this year.
- Japan Visits by Indian Parliamentarians (May and November 2007, 1-week each)
Through dialogues with Japanese counterparts, visits to government ministries and business associations, and on-site observation of business enterprises (plants), opinions will be exchanged encompassing versatile topics including politics, economy, investment, education and culture, so that issues and challenges that await Japan-India cooperation shall be discovered.
- JIntroduction of the Project and Network Maintenance (2007)
After the visits to Japan, reports will be carried in CII newsletter in addition to making references to the project in web site, etc. Conferences to share the results of the project will be held, thereby offering opportunities for networking for past participants and future candidates for the project.
