"It was great to be back in Japan last week, honoring the longstanding Indiana-Japan relationship and its significant contributions to our shared communities and cultures. Indiana and Japan share similar values, economies and visions for the future. Bolstered by our strong friendship and drive for new innovations, I'm confident this is just the beginning of success for both Indiana and Japan as we work together to advance next-generation manufacturing, develop the future of mobility, and experience exciting times ahead."
