| Friday, January 13, 2012 |
Japan, a pioneer in bullet train operations,
on January 12 committed to "work closely" with the Indian government in its
proposed high speed projects in the country. An extensive
deliberation was held in this regard between visiting Japanese Minister
for Land Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Takeshi Maeda and Railway
Minister Dinesh Trivedi, according to railway sources.
Trivedi is
understood to have said that there is an increasing demand for high-speed trains in the country in view of its growing economy as well as
the demand from a larger section which aspires such service. The
Japanese minister is believed to have assured his country's support and
expressed desire to work closely with India which has identified six
high-speed corridors in the country, sources said.
Maede led a
delegation which included senior deputy DG of Japan's Railway Bureau
Akhihiko Tamura, president, East Japan Railway Company Satoshi Seino,
chairman of Kawasaki Heavy Industry Tadaharu Ohashi and Ambassador of
Japan to India Akitaka Saiki among others.
