The members of Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) on June 15 (Thursday) visited Sri City, which is said to have the second largest Japanese township in India, and interacted with the representatives of the various enterprises set up here.

The JETRO, an organisation supported by the Japanese government, promotes mutually beneficial trade and investment relations between that country and other nations.

A seven-member delegation comprising Kaoru Shiraishi, Director-General (Chennai); Takehiko Furukawa, Director-General (Ahmedabad); Taku Hiroki, Director (New Delhi) among others was welcomed by Sri City president (operations) Satish Kamat. Senior vice-president (Marketing) Shiva Shankar briefed the delegation on the unique features of the Sri City, its infrastructure, investor-friendly ecosystem etc.

The delegation, which intended to gain first-hand knowledge about the Sri City, also visited several Japanese companies that have set up their units here.

“A majority of the Japanese enterprises are expanding their base here. The social infrastructure and amenities such as service apartments, restaurants, educational institutions, recreational facilities, gold driving ranges etc. are impressive,” said Mr. Shiraishi.
