He described the nearly 60,000-strong Indian community in Japan as “Brand Ambassadors of India”, noting that their conduct, professionalism and contribution across different fields serve as an important introduction to India among the Japanese people.

Shri Goyal said that the energy, enthusiasm and confidence witnessed during his visit to Japan reflected the growing strength of India-Japan relations. He expressed gratitude to the Indian community for “opening the doors of Japan” for India and for building goodwill through their work and engagement with Japanese society.
