The Tamil Nadu showcase-part of the larger India Pavilion branded 'Bharat'will run till July 19, spotlighting the state's industrial strengths, policy ecosystem and cultural heritage.

'I am happy to announce that we have converted 100% of MoUs signed during our Japan visit in May 2023,' he said in a social media post, signalling strong follow-through on earlier investment commitments. The visit also aims to deepen trade and institutional ties with Japanese prefectures such as Ehime and Hiroshima, with which Tamil Nadu already has cooperation agreements.
