  The visit of Mr Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, to Japan is widely seen as one of the most defining bilateral visits. The Prime Minister is expected to discuss a range of issues during his five day official visit, including the nuclear energy pact, foreign direct investment, manufacturing, railways, defence, infrastructure, technology and energy. India has already signed the Varanasi-Kyoto Partner City affiliation MoU with Japan during the visit of Mr Modi. Additionally, the PM has also promised speedy clearances for Japanese companies and announced setting up of a Special Management Team under PMO to facilitate business from Japan.

The summit level talks between Mr Modi and his Japanese counterpart, Mr Shinzo Abe, and the signing of agreements between the two countries, scheduled to be held later today, are expected to be the highlight of this visit. Mr Modi is accompanied by a strong Indian business delegation expected to propel the Indo-Japan trade and business.
