Indian Embassy thanks Japanese Diet members for boosting partnership
Tokyo, July 6
The Indian Embassy in Tokyo on Monday thanked visiting members of Japan's Diet for their support in bolstering India-Japan partnership.
"Charge d'Affaires Madhu Sudan welcomed Representative Junichi Mizuoka of the Constitutional Democratic Party, along with the party's members of the Diet. We sincerely thank you for your strong support for the partnership between India and Japan," the Embassy wrote on X.
Madhu Sudan also visited a retrospective exhibition of the former Prime Minister Shizo Abe earlier in the day.
"Charge d'Affaires Madhu Sudan: At the invitation of Mrs Akie Abe (Wife of Shinzo Abe), I visited the retrospective exhibition in Tokyo tracing the life and legacy of the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It was a moving exhibition honouring former Prime Minister Abe's vision, leadership, and enduring achievements," the Embassy wrote on X.
According to the Embassy, the exhibition featured a condolence message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to former Prime Minister Abe, as well as the historic speech delivered by former Prime Minister Abe in the Indian Parliament, allowing everyone to once again feel the deep friendship and mutual respect that binds India and Japan.
"The words left by former Prime Minister Abe - 'We must not let the dream end' - still resonate in our hearts without fading. We will carry forward former Prime Minister Abe's spirit and further develop the friendship and cooperative relations between India and Japan," the Embassy wrote on X.
In May, Akie Abe visited the Indian Embassy, recalling her late husband's deep love for India and his friendship with PM Modi.
The Indian Embassy in Tokyo said that "Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, one of the greatest statesmen Japan has produced, was a true friend of India."
"Ambassador Nagma M Mallick told the distinguished guest of how we in India continue to cherish his memory. Ms Abe recalled the great friendship between PM Abe and PM Modi. She also touched upon her charitable endeavours and work with young people," the Embassy wrote on X.

The bond between India and Japan is so special. Abe's speech in the Indian Parliament was iconic—truly a statesman who understood the strategic importance of this relationship. Glad his legacy lives on.
Great to see continued diplomatic engagement between two major Asian democracies. The India-Japan partnership has huge potential for trade, technology, and regional stability. Hope to see more concrete outcomes soon.
While the emotional tribute is nice, let's not forget that diplomacy needs substance. India and Japan need to move beyond photo ops and actually deliver on infrastructure projects and defense cooperation. Hoping for more than just nostalgia. 🤔
It's beautiful how PM Modi and Shinzo Abe shared such a warm personal friendship. That kind of trust at the leadership level really strengthens bilateral ties. Mrs. Akie Abe visiting the embassy shows how deep these bonds go.
"We must not let the dream end" — those words still give me chills. Abe's vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific is exactly what we need. India and Japan working together can balance the region's power dynamics. Excellent diplomacy by the embassy! 🇮🇳🇯🇵
India should strengthen ties with Japan in technology and skill development. Japanese discipline and Indian
