India's new ambassador to Japan believes the two countries can complement each other in terms of talent and technology, and that cooperation could lead to new innovations.
"Indian software competence, married with Japanese hardware production ... if these two can merge together, you have embedded systems on very efficient hardware, which can lead to new products," Sanjay Kumar Verma said during a courtesy visit to The Japan Times on Wednesday.
Verma, who began his current stint on Jan. 17, sees it as his mission to "increase engagement" between India and Japan "in all sectors and fields."
