CM Mann stated: “Our message is simple – Punjab offers policy stability, speed of decisions, and a government that works as a true partner of industry. We are not just inviting investment; we are building long-term partnerships based on trust and mutual growth.”
Minister Sanjeev Arora added: “This mission will deepen ties with existing Japanese & Korean investors in Punjab while positioning the state as North India’s gateway for high-tech, high-value manufacturing and innovation.”
The delegation will also engage with the Indian diaspora in all three cities to strengthen people-to-people and cultural linkages.
This follows successful pre-summit engagements with GCC & CIS diplomats in New Delhi and domestic roadshows in Gurugram, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai.
Invest Punjab expects the Japan–Korea mission to generate firm commitments from global majors and position Japan and South Korea as Partner Countries for PPIS 2026.
