India-Japan are natural partners: Modi to Indian diaspora in Tokyo

Tokyo, May 23 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India and Japan are natural partners, and talked about cultural similarities as he addressed Indian diaspora here in Tokyo amid cheering and chants of his name by the audience.
The Prime Minister also quoted Swami Vivekananda and said he was so influenced by Japan that he had said Indians should come to Japan at least once in their lives and invited Japanese youth to visit India.
PM Modi was greeted by cheers and chants of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai', 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Har Har Mahadev'. The audience also broke into chants of 'Modi' several times during the PM's speech.
He said that Japan has played an important role in India's development journey and said that India and Japan are natural partners.
"India and Japan are natural partners. Japan has played an important role in India's development journey. Our relationship with Japan is of intimacy, of spirituality, of cooperation, of belongingness," PM Modi said during his interaction with the Indian diaspora here.

The Prime Minister highlighted the cultural similarities between India and Japan, and also said that the world today needs to follow the path of Lord Buddha.

Talking about climate change, Modi said by the end of this decade, 50 percent of India's total installed power capacity will be through non-fossil fuel.
He also talked about the disruption in the global supply chain over the last two years due to the Covid crisis and Ukraine-Russia, and said it is a major challenge for the world.
"We are moving ahead with the pledge of self reliance. This is not just for India, it is for a stable, trusted, global supply chain. Today the whole world is realising that the speed and scale at which India can work is unprecedented. The world can also see the scale at which India is building its infrastructure and institutional capacity," he said.
