It is just wishful thinking, but the facts speak for itself.
The ministers are like goldfishes in their little bowl, looking at the world from their viewpoints, which is usually prejudicial and narrowed.
As the economies become globalized, nationalism is erroded, and MNCs become more of a International brand than one which belongs to a country or state. To say China, or India, or South Korea becoming the next superpower in economic world or the G8 member, is not in the interest of these countries, because all these companies which produce the income from their exports mostly originate from overseas.
For example in China, there are more than 400 of the 500 International brands manufacturing their products there. MacDonalds can be found in almost any country and has been shedding its American identity, as it is altering its tastes according to the preference of the local people.
Another important principle is not to mix business with politics. Which has brought much disadvantage to the American companies versus the European in the middle east. Economic sanctions, and political agendas are killing companies with excellent product and market potentials.

Replying to [Deepali]:Deep,
Neither India nor japan will be the main forces in Asian affairs for the future under current conditions.
The reason is fairly simple. Neither country is self-sufficent. It really comes down to that. India does not have the geopolitical power to make anybody do anything. Japan has never had that ability as can be seen thru the 20th century.
Japan tried to make itself self-sufficient by invading and taking over Manchuria to provide it with the required land to grow enough food to feed it's people and to gain access to raw materials.
India has exactly the same problem. It cannot feed itself and cannot produce enough raw materials to support itself. The only 2 ways India and Japan can do this is by buying it from other countires. Or buy invading and taking over another countries territory to gain it.
India has enough trouble dealing with Pakistan let alone trying to take on the only two local regions with enough resources to enable it to become self sufficient (China and Siberia)
To be the LEADER of a region you have to be able to get others in that region to go along with your policies. India and japan do not have the political muscle to do that so it isn't going to happen.
A trade agreement is not going to help. It is a simple political fact. India, for all it's population and manufacturing base, is never going to be a "super-power". I am not putting India down here, it is just a politcal reality that India will have to deal with at some point.

Replying to [Foow]:You have quoted right! The infrastructre and basic tax structure doesn't support the desired growth. rather it is not in line with the development required for a country. There is a need to change the system and polytical structure. India is self sufficient for many RM and the resources required for development. Here I must mentiona that Japan is strong in technological front. India needs to take help of other countries as well to grow. The main point is if China can be the manufacturing hub for various Countries need, India also has potential to be the leader in the world. As you must agree that India has had a modest presence through the offers of lines of credit to many countries including Africa, Qatar, Doha etc. It is to be noted here that if One is satisfied then he can donate something, but here in our case, India is giving the help irrespective of our own situation. ![[em20]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_victory.gif)

Replying to [Deepali]:Deep, I am not suggesting that India (or Japan) do not do good works in other countries around the world or are not good manufacturing countries.
My point is, if you look at history, the country's that HAVE been world leaders always had the advantage of being able to support their own population if they needed to.
It comes down to the most simple thing. If you cannot feed and clothe your own population from within your own borders then you are at the mercy of someone else.
India cannot grow enough food to feed itself, does not have the raw materials to clothe itself (or enough mineral wealth) and does not have enough oil/gas to support itself.
When a country is a net importer of those things then it must therefore be dependant upon another country(s) for those things. This makes it difficult to say "I will not deal with you because I don't like your policies". All you can do is make your point.. and then pay whatever you have to to buy the goods you need to keep your population alive.

Replying to [Foow]:If you see at the history you will find that India has never invaded to any other country of the world, and She has been callled " Golden Sparrow" in ancient times. Mughal's, doutch, portugese, british has used rather exploited the natural resources of India for more then 200 years. Inspite of all these India has the second largest agricultural output of any country in the world
