NEW DELHI — Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has invited Toshihiro Suzuki, CEO of Suzuki Motor Corporation, to attend the International Gita Seminar as a Distinguished Guest at the University of Tokyo on June 20.
The invitation is part of a broader initiative to strengthen cultural and economic ties between Haryana and Japan. The Chief Minister also announced that a ‘Gita Jayanti Mahotsav’ will be organised in Japan, aimed at promoting Indian culture and philosophy on a global platform.
According to officials, this event is expected to foster cultural cooperation between Japan and Haryana, highlighting the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and encouraging deeper engagement between the two regions.
Speaking on the occasion, Saini emphasised that Haryana is rapidly emerging as a preferred destination for investors in India. He said the state government has been working consistently to improve infrastructure, streamline policies, and create a business-friendly environment.
He added that Haryana will play a key role in strengthening India’s economic foundation, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of the Make in India initiative. According to him, the state’s strategic location, strong industrial base, and skilled workforce make it an attractive hub for both domestic and international investments.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the long-standing partnership between Haryana and Japanese companies, particularly in the automobile sector. Companies like Suzuki have made significant investments in the state, contributing to industrial growth and employment generation.
Officials from the Haryana Department of Information, Public Relations, and Languages (DIPR) said that such engagements are aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation not just in industry, but also in culture and education.
The invitation to Toshihiro Suzuki is seen as a step towards deepening ties between the corporate sector and cultural initiatives, bringing together economic and cultural diplomacy.
Experts believe that events like the International Gita Seminar can help showcase India’s soft power, while also opening doors for further collaboration in trade, technology, and education.
The initiative reflects Haryana’s dual focus on economic development and cultural outreach, aiming to build stronger global partnerships while promoting India’s heritage on the international stage.
