An ‘excited’ prime minister Narendra Modi on Thursday tweeted in Japanese ahead of his visit to Japan to strike a chord with its people whose ‘scale of innovation’ he admired. In a series of tweets, Modi talked about his five-day visit beginning 30 August, saying he looked forward to it and recalled warm memories of his earlier trip there as chief minister of Gujarat.
‘Friends from Japan asked me to talk to the people of Japan directly in Japanese. I also thank them for helping with the translation,’ tweeted Modi. Modi, who will be embarking on his first bilateral visit outside the subcontinent since becoming the prime minister in May, said he was ‘excited’ to meet his counterpart Shinzo Abe whose leadership he deeply respects.
