A senior official of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on 28 September 2026 that the pace of progress on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor, India's first bullet train project, has not lived up to Japan's initial expectations, though it is now making steady progress. The official, speaking to The Hindu, said Japan is not in a position to declare a completion date for the project, which it supports financially and technically. India and Japan are set to convene a Foreign and Defence Ministers' two-plus-two dialogue by the end of the year, with the same official also calling for maritime law to be respected around the disputed South China Sea islands.
