Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Japan sojourn began on a high note—literally—with a record-breaking ride on the SCMaglev train reaching 501 km/h. From Yamanashi, he live-shared the experience on social platforms, zooming in on the speed display and fleeting landscapes.
‘Witnessing 501 km/h firsthand on this revolutionary train reveals the dawn of ultra-efficient mobility,’ Yogi shared. The seamless stability at such velocities underscores Japan’s gold standard in infrastructure and forward-thinking tech.
A postcard-perfect view of Mount Fuji elevated the adventure, its majestic presence evoking discipline and serenity. ‘Honored to see Japan’s eternal icon on this radiant day,’ he captioned a photo.
Interactions with vibrant Yamanashi students were a heartwarming interlude. Their disciplined enthusiasm and curiosity highlighted profound bilateral cultural links. Yogi showered them with blessings for knowledge-driven success.
Pushing boundaries, discussions with Governor Kotaro Nagasaki sealed an MoU emphasizing green hydrogen, renewable innovations, tourism, and vocational training. UP’s push to make IIT Kanpur a green hydrogen powerhouse aligns with PM Modi’s sustainable agenda.
Yogi embraced the Governor’s initiative for a 200-CEO UP visit in August, poised to ignite investment flows. This trip exemplifies how blending Japanese excellence with UP’s vigor can accelerate mutual growth and innovation.
