In a blend of diplomacy and discovery, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath soared through Japan at 501 km/h aboard the cutting-edge SCMaglev train during his official visit. Sharing the adrenaline-pumping moment via social media, he featured the digital speed readout and photos amid the high-velocity blur.
Praising the technology, Yogi noted, ‘The journey was effortless and stable at extreme speeds, showcasing Japan’s innovation legacy.’ This next-gen maglev system, capable of 500 km/h, represents a leap toward efficient, eco-friendly travel.
The scenic highlight was Mount Fuji, towering gracefully on a clear day. ‘A beacon of resilience and harmony, witnessing it firsthand is truly fortunate,’ the CM reflected, capturing its timeless allure.
Yamanashi’s students added warmth to the trip, their welcoming spirit and inquisitive nature bridging cultural gaps. ‘Their pure affection strengthens India-Japan ties,’ Yogi posted, invoking blessings for their prosperous paths.
Collaborative strides were made in talks with Governor Kotaro Nagasaki, culminating in an MoU for joint ventures in industry, tourism, and skill development. Priorities include clean energy like green hydrogen, with UP elevating IIT Kanpur to excellence status to support national self-reliance goals under PM Modi’s leadership.
Welcoming a proposed August delegation of 200 CEOs from Yamanashi, Yogi anticipates a surge in investments. This visit not only celebrates technological marvels but also forges enduring partnerships for shared progress.
