<br />
&quot;I would like to affirm that Japan is always willing to support the efforts of Delhi Metro.Japan&#39;s continuous involvement in the Delhi Metro Project is testimony to the firm cooperation and&nbsp;friendly relationship existing between Japan and India,&quot; said Satoshi Suzuki, the Ambassador of Japan to India.<br />
