TOKYO, Sep 01 (News On Japan) - Prime Minister Ishiba rode the Tohoku Shinkansen with Prime Minister Modi on August 30 as Japan promotes its bullet train system for India’s first high-speed rail project, highlighting safety, comfort, and reliability.
The two leaders boarded a Hayabusa service at Tokyo Station on the morning of August 30 and traveled to Sendai Station. As India pushes ahead with construction of its high-speed line, the leaders reaffirmed cooperation toward introducing Japan’s latest Shinkansen technologies, and from the driver’s cab they observed the train running at its top operating speed of 320 kilometers per hour.
Ishiba said that “there are aspects of comfort you can only understand by actually riding, and he was able to experience the speed.” After arriving, the leaders visited a chipmaking equipment manufacturer, where Ishiba said he aims to strengthen economic security, including semiconductor supply chains.
