An address to distinguished guests from India and Japan highlighted the evolving strategic and global partnership between the two nations, focusing on long-term development and urban transformation. The collaboration, which previously played a crucial role in developing the Delhi Metro and the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor, is now shifting towards shaping comprehensive urban ecosystems. The address emphasised transitioning Delhi from a metro city to a metropolis by leveraging Japanese expertise in smart mobility, sustainable development, water management, and disaster resilience.

Key proposals include integrating AI-based traffic management, hydrogen energy, and wastewater recycling into the capital's infrastructure. Furthermore, the development of Dwarka as a subcity was presented as a major opportunity for future growth. The area is envisioned as a hub for knowledge-based industries, innovation centres, and regional headquarters for Japanese companies. This integrated development approach aims to create new economic ecosystems, ensuring sustainable growth and strengthening the enduring trust and shared vision between the two nations.
