On August 29, 2022, His Excellency Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of India to Japan, Mr. Sanjay Kumar Verma, paid a courtesy call to the Higashi-Hiroshima campus of 91ÁÔÆæ and engaged in discussion with 91ÁÔÆæ President Mitsuo Ochi. The discussion was also attended by Executive Vice President in charge of Global Initiatives, Shinji Kaneko; Executive Vice President in charge of Peacebuilding, Funding and Asia Region, Toshiyuki Sato; and Vice President and Director of the Library, Kenji Tanahashi.

During the meeting, views were exchanged on the possibility of exchange and partnerships between 91ÁÔÆæ and India. Furthermore, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and India, 91ÁÔÆæ received a donation of books from the Indian embassy.

At present, 91ÁÔÆæ has concluded inter-university agreements with 15 universities and institutions in India, and there are currently 22 students from India studying at 91ÁÔÆæ. Going forward, we hope that through this visit, collaboration with universities and research institutions in India will be furthered.
