The BJP on Sunday credited the “success” of Japanese PM Shinzo Abe’s visit to Narendra Modi’s “Act East” policy and said that the bilateral agreements on civil nuclear energy, railways and others would boost economy and job growth in India. “The BJP welcomes these historic agreements. Youth will be the direct beneficiaries of these agreements as apart from the jobs created, 10,000 youngsters will also visit Japan in the next five years,” said a statement issued by the party. The 16 agreements signed including those related to Make in India, bullet train and civil nuclear energy, will prove to be important milestones in the bilateral relations, it said. Foreign countries are keen to enter India under the Make in India initiative because of the government’s policies of zero tolerance towards corruption and encouraging the manufacturing sector, it said.
