Rebuilding Japan through the cooperation of each generation via relentless work featured prominently in the speech of Japan's newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

In her speech to the members of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) who elected her, Takaichi said, "I will keep my promises. We can only rebuild by reuniting every generation and with everybody's participation. Because there are only a few of us, I ask everybody to work; Work like a horse. I myself will cast aside the idea of "work-life balance". I'll work, work, work, work, and work."

She stressed that in order to "rebuild Japan and LDP", each has to "work tirelessly in area of your expertise. I'll also, work with humility so please provide me your guidance."

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party President Sanae Takaichi was elected Prime Minister by parliament on Tuesday, to become the country's first woman leader.

Takaichi avoided a runoff with a victory in the first round of voting in the Lower House, garnering 237 votes against Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan leader Yoshihiko Noda's 149, Kyodo reported.

Japan's first woman PM! This is historic. Her "work like a horse" philosophy reminds me of our own Indian work ethic. Hope she brings fresh energy to Japan-India relations.

While I appreciate the diplomatic outreach, I hope our government focuses equally on domestic issues. The bullet train project with Japan has been delayed for years - would like to see more concrete outcomes.

As someone working in the manufacturing sector, I've seen how Japanese collaboration has improved quality standards in India. More such partnerships will boost Make in India initiative.
