NaMo experiences Love in Tokyo

Date:

Tokyo: Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ceremonially welcomed his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at the Akasaka Palace in Tokyo on Monday.

The gesture made more personal with a special Japanese Tea Ceremony in Modi’s honour.

The two will be taking their talks into a more serious arena after two days of diplomatic niceties.

Looking to cement strategic and defence cooperation in the crucial summit talks, India and Japan are likely to agree to launch a “two-plus-two” security consultative framework, involving their foreign and defence ministers.

During his two-day stay in Kyoto, Modi witnessed signing of a pact under which his constituency Varanasi will be developed as a ‘smart city’ in partnership with the Japanese city, which is a confluence of heritage and modernity.

Abe had specially come to Kyoto from Tokyo to meet Modi. The Japanese Prime Minister rarely greet a foreign leader outside the national capital. On the second day of his Japan tour, Modi offered prayers at two prominent ancient Buddhist temples in Kyoto and sought help from a Japanese Nobel Prize-winning stem cell researcher to develop a treatment for Sickle Cell Anaemia, a deadly disease commonly found among tribal people in India.

In Kinkakuji temple, the Prime Minister mingled with tourists and visitors and posed for photographs with groups of people. He began his day with a visit to the ancient Toji Temple. He was accompanied by his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe at the famous temple which is a UNESCO world heritage site.
