Sonowal presented a spectrum of potential for Japanese investment and pointed out that the 'land of rising sun' can invest in the state's organic sector, power distribution and transmission sector by teaming up with the state government, according to a statement.
"Giving a brief overview of the areas in which Japan and Assam can build robust relations, Sonowal said that in dredging of Brahmaputra and setting up of skill development centres, Assam and Japan can team up," it said.
The Japanese ambassador expressed keen interest to boost ties with Assam by assuring investments in organic sectors like tea, agriculture, horticulture, tourism, food processing and facilitating frequent student exchange programmes.
