“We will promote cooperation toward the introduction of the latest Shinkansen technology to India, as well as the strengthening of semiconductor supply chain resilience and economic security,” it added.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled on the Shinkansen bullet train along with his Japanese counterpart to visit a semiconductor plant at Sendai in the Japanese prefecture of Miyagi.
PM Modi’s visit to the Tokyo Electron Miyagi Ltd (TEL Miyagi) highlighted the complementarity between India’s growing semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem and Japan’s strengths in the sector.
TEL Miyagi, a leading Japanese company in the semiconductor sector, has plans for collaborations with India.
PM Modi was briefed about TEL’s role in the global semiconductor value chain, its advanced manufacturing capabilities, and its ongoing and planned collaborations with India.
The visit gave the leaders a practical understanding of the opportunities that exist between the two countries to forge collaboration in the field of semiconductor supply chain, fabrication and testing, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in the readout.
“Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to deepening cooperation in this sector, building on the Memorandum of Cooperation on the Japan–India semiconductor supply chain partnership as well as ongoing partnerships under the India–Japan Industrial Competitiveness Partnership and Economic Security Dialogue,” it said.
PM Modi and PM Ishiba held wide-ranging talks on Friday that also focused on deepening cooperation in the semiconductor sector.
