On 18 March 2019, the 3rd Indo-Japan Workshop on Disaster Risk Reduction was held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, organised by Cabinet Office, the Government of Japan, and Ministry of Home Affairs, the Government of India.
The Government of Japan and the Government of India has signed Memorandum of Cooperation aiming to develop cooperation between both countries in the field of disaster risk reduction and to promote relationship between both countries, on the occasion of Prime Minister Abe’s visit to India in 2017. This Workshop has been held in order to exchange information on policy and measures on disaster risk reduction, and to enhance cooperation between Japan and India, and this is the 3rd meeting; following the 1st meeting held in March, 2018, in New Delhi; and 2nd meeting held in October, 2018, in Tokyo.
From Japanese side, Ambassador Hiramatsu, as well as a lot of delegates from governments, research institutions and 31 people from private companies, led by Mr. Nakamura, Vice Minister, Cabinet Office participated. From Indian side, a lot of participants joined from governments, research institutes, FICCI and private companies, headed by Dr. P.K. Mishra, Additional Principal Secretary to Prime Minister.
Just before the meeting, there was a bilateral talk with a few people and Mr. Hiro Nishiguchi, President of JBP also attended on behalf of the Japanese private sector. One of requests from the Japanese government to the Indian was to allow private companies to use the weather information owned by the Indian Meteorological Department for DRR. Supplementing this, Mr. Nishiguchi explained to Indian Government how important and efficient for sharing information with private sector to execute disaster risk reduction by utilizing the private sector’s capacity. Because this request had been informed by the Japanese government to the Indian government beforehand, this could be directly informed to the responsible person, Dr. K. J. Ramesh, Director General of Indian Meteorological Department who was present at the bilateral meeting by the Indian government arrangement.
In three themes sessions, both sides shared and exchanged their experiences, knowledges and challenges on disaster risk reduction. Both sides also discussed measures towards future cooperation. Especially, in the session of Collaboration among Private Companies, a business matching event was held between private companies of both sides, where the participants actively exchanged information on Japanese products and services contributing to disaster risk reduction.
Because the 3rd Workshop was the first time to organize the session of Collaboration among Private Companies independently, it could very well reflect the needs of participant private companies. This session was organized by Japan Bosai Platform (JBP) of Japan side and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) of Indian side. FICCI established in 1927 is the largest and oldest apex business organisation in India with over 300 thousands member companies.
During the preparation of this session, JBP gave FICCI the information of DRR technologies and products which participant Japanese companies want to supply in India and FICCI selected the suitable good Indian companies to match the need for participation.
