Dear Mike Just for information. I understand a Japanese team visited Assam in the seventies. After the team went back to Japan, the Government of Japan invited one of the Cabinet Ministers of Assam, namely the late Mr Keshav Chandra Gogoi to visit Japan in order to explore the possibility of utilising Japanese skill in the State. But the Government of India did not allow Mr Gogoi to accept the invitation. The reason appears to be that international relations happen to be a Union subject. It was however relaxed in case of Jyoti Basu a number of times when Mr Basu wanted to go abroad looking for foreign investment in West Bengal. Bhuban
