The announcement was made during an exclusive session hosted by the Embassy of Japan in India for FLO and YFLO members in New Delhi. The session focused on trade and investment opportunities for women entrepreneurs and explored avenues for bilateral business partnerships.
Speaking at the event, Harjinder Kaur Talwar said women’s empowerment and leadership are essential for driving innovation, economic growth and social progress. She noted that FLO has been actively exploring opportunities to strengthen engagement between women entrepreneurs in India and Japan.
She also thanked Kenji Hiramatsu for supporting the initiative and encouraging stronger collaboration between the two countries in the area of women’s empowerment and business cooperation.

He referred to the launch of the World Assembly for Women (WAW!) and highlighted Japan’s ongoing support for women-centric development initiatives in India through Official Development Assistance and grassroots projects.
