Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday expressed gratitude to the Indian community in Tokyo, saying he was “deeply touched” by their warmth and affection. In a post on X, Modi lauded their commitment to preserving Indian cultural roots while making “meaningful contributions” to Japanese society. He said he would soon engage with business leaders to “add vigour” to India–Japan trade and investment relations.
