Event Report: Building a Bridge of Trust Between Japan and India—Insights from My World Economic Forum Summit Speech

Thank you to everyone who attended my online live seminar on October 11, 2025, which served as a report on my speech at “The Deccan Dialogue,” an official summit of the World Economic Forum.

I am truly delighted to have had the opportunity to share with you the immense energy I experienced firsthand in India and the vibrant atmosphere of the summit.

After the live session, I received numerous heartfelt and warm messages from the attendees. I would like to share a few of them with you here:

“I found India to be an incredibly interesting country.”
“It was fascinating to experience both the Japanese and Indian perspectives.”
“It broadened my perspective and made India feel much closer.”
“I strongly felt the potential for Japan and India to grow together in education and business!”

And among all the wonderful feedback, what moved me the most were comments like this one:
“I was deeply moved by the powerful energy and confidence of the Indian people, forged through a challenging history. We Japanese have much to learn.”

The very thing I most wanted to convey in this report was this Indian “guts”—the mental fortitude to forge a future from adversity. I am so glad that this message resonated with everyone.

We were also honored to have a special guest, the summit organizer Gaurav Ghewade, and I believe we could all feel a genuine friendship blossoming between Japan and India, even through the screen.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to Gaurav. Thank you so much.

(Incidentally, this wonderful connection began when Gaurav was so impressed by Sayaka Miura’s TEDx speech that he contacted her directly. A single act of courage can create a connection that transcends borders—a true testament to the power of expression.)

Through this live seminar, I reconfirmed something myself.
There is a quiet yet warm bond sleeping within Japan—a deep-seated desire to connect more deeply with India.

I believe that this small step will become a significant bridge to a wonderful future for both our countries.

My deepest gratitude goes out to everyone who participated and to all who support this work.
