Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday pitched for greater cooperation between India and Japan and assured the Japanese business leaders that a good environment will be provided to them while inviting them to invest in his country.

Speaking at business lunch by Nippon Keidanren at Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, PM Modi said, "Expectations from Japan are natural as our ties are much older. We also want to work with Japan in the field of research and skill development."

Calling for a greater cooperation between the two nations, Prime Minister Modi said, "We know that businessmen need a good environment to grow and this is our responsibility. The state has to be policy driven. We have given importance to good governance and to processes. We are looking at how to integrate technology with Governance."

"In the coming days you'll get the same speed and response that you have experienced in Gujarat when I was the Chief Minister," PM further said.

"Being a Gujarati, commerce is in my blood so I understand that it is policymakers and and government's responsibility to provide good environment for businessmen," PM Modi said.
