Members of the Indian diaspora welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi with warmth and enthusiasm when he arrived in Tokyo on Friday for the 15th India–Japan Annual Summit.
The visit stirred strong feelings of pride and excitement among Indians in Japan, with many describing the chance to meet him in person as an unforgettable experience.
The ceremonial reception, marked by cultural displays and personal interactions, proved deeply moving for those present. Several attendees spoke of their admiration and the emotional weight of the occasion.
In large numbers, the Indian community turned out to greet the Prime Minister, combining patriotic energy with vibrant traditional performances.
For many, the gathering carried meaning that went far beyond official protocol.
One member of the diaspora remarked, “He is the best PM. Ten years ago, when Modiji wasn’t there, Pakistan used to seem dangerous. Now, even America feels like a joke in comparison.”
Another added, “I can’t even express it. It was truly a proud moment.”
A fellow attendee reflected, “Meeting PM Modi ji here feels like a dream come true for every Indian.”
The atmosphere was charged with emotion. One individual noted, “I can’t express how emotional this moment is for all of us. We have seen him on TV, watched his interviews, but seeing him face-to-face is a completely different aura, a different persona.”
Japanese performers took part in the welcome ceremony, presenting traditional dance and music. They later shared their impressions after interacting with the Indian leader.
One artist commented, “It was such an impressive experience. I never expected that Modi ji would take a picture with us, so I was deeply moved.”
The reception highlighted not only the diplomatic value of the visit but also the enduring cultural connection and mutual respect between India and Japan.
Prime Minister Modi arrived in Japan on Friday for a two-day visit, from 29 to 30 August, during which he will likely hold summit-level talks with his Japanese counterpart, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, to enhance the India–Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership.
