Bengaluru, (DHNS): A delegation led by Kenji Hiramatsu, Ambassador of Japan to India, and Takayuki Kitagawa, the Consul General of Japan in Bangalore, visited the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) to learn more about the India-Japan Study Centre, which was inaugurated on September 14.

Hiramatsu welcomed the initiative saying,“The setting up of the India-Japan Study Centre is a very valuable and timely initiative, especially at a time when the India-Japan relationship in business and investment is perhaps at its very best in history. Your study centre has our wholehearted support.”

He said that he would like to focus on people-to-people exchange programmes between the two countries, especially faculty teaching the Japanese language here.

Chairperson of the centre, Prof Krishna Sundar gave the Ambassador and his team an overview of the India-Japan Study Centre.

The delegation sought details on the language training programme, the student exchange program and the training program for executives.

Prof Sundar spoke of the growing number of IIMB students choosing Japan for exchange programmes. On the language training front, he said that IIMB has been offering Japanese as an elective for the past 15 years. He gave details of a course they are designing for middle management executives where part of the course is delivered at IIMB and the other part at a partner university in Japan.
