She also underlined the negotiations between the Prime Ministers of India and Japan during the visit of Prime Minister of Japan to India (22nd to 24th Aug 2007) in which Japan conveyed to Government of India its intention to improve investments in infrastructural activities from US $ 500 Million in 2006 to US $ 5.5 Billion by 2010. The Japanese delegation has shown interest in investing in Mumbai-Delhi Industrial Corridor development Project for a total length of 1443 KMs.

The Managing Director of S&N Hayakawa Enterprises, Ms Jasmine Hayakawa in her Felicitations remarked that there has been large scale requirement of multi lingual Engineering Graduates from MNCs. As the Japanese are not versatile in English Language, the business in the past could not grow as is the case with Western Nations. Now with the importance given to India for growth potential by Japanese MNCs, the Indian students can learn the Language and gain into Japanese Market.

With a view to help the learners of Japanese Language through Distance Education Course, S&N Hayakawa Enterprises is also planning to conduct Contact Classes at select centers.
