The focus of the visit will be on shaping the next phase of the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership, which has seen steady growth over the past 11 years.
The iconic Tokyo Skytree was lit up in the colours of the Indian national flag during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (August 29). It is the tallest tower of Japan and showing Indian flag colours on it marks the importance of the relations between both countries. Modi is in Tokyo for a two-day visit to attend the 15th Annual India-Japan Summit. He was welcomed by Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. The visuals of the tower were shared by MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on X.

Beyond politics and trade, PM Modi’s visit also signifies the cultural ties between both the countries. PM Modi also met the Indian community in Japan, underlining the important role of the diaspora (movement of people away from their own country) in building closer ties.
India and Japan had upgraded their ties to a Special Strategic and Global Partnership a decade ago and this visit is expected to further strengthen that bond between both countries.
