I will visit Japan from August 30. I’m very excited, this visit to Japan will strengthen relations.

For me, this visit is a bilateral visit for the first time in the Indian subcontinent outside. It had planned to early July. Initially, it became impossible in the circumstances of the parliament.

And elevated to a new level of relationship with Japan, I have seen an opportunity to enhance cooperation in various fields, this visit to Japan.

Visited Tokyo and Kyoto, I interact with people students, political leaders, and business executives, all of the layers of Japanese society.

I visited Japan in premier era, but it’s very warm memories. And hospitality, a wide range of potential cooperation, was impressed deeply.

High precision of the scale of innovation with the Japanese deserve praise. Mark and Japan can learn a lot from each other.

What I look forward in particular, it would be to meet the Prime Minister Abe. I have deeply respected the leadership of him, and has enjoyed a warm relationship through visitation until now.

Through the test of time the friendship with India in Japan is followed. Two countries, we are a democracy to be committed to the promotion of peace and prosperity of the world, vibrant.
