WATCH: PM Modi thanks Indian diaspora in Japan for warm welcome

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in Tokyo for a two-day visit, on Monday morning interacted with children here waiting to welcome him outside the Hotel New Otani. During the interaction, the Prime Minister was impressed to see the Hindi fluency of a kid, Ritsuki Kobayashi, who was waiting for an autograph from him. “Waah! Where did you learn Hindi from?… You know it pretty well?” PM Modi told him. Ritsuki Kobayashi said that he is very happy and said, “He (PM Modi) read my message, which I wrote on paper and this is the reason that I am very happy and even I got his signature.” Overwhelmed by the reception, the prime minister made an Instagram reel video that shows him interacting with Indians at the airport, children waiting to welcome him and moments of his travel from the airport to the city.

While sharing the video, he captioned it as ‘Hello Japan’. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a two-day visit to Tokyo, received a rousing welcome on Monday from the Indian diaspora at the Hotel New Otani where he will be staying during his trip. ‘Har Har Modi’, ‘Modi Modi’, ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ slogans reverberated at the hotel as people from the Indian diaspora cheered and waved their flags seeing the Prime Minister. Earlier this morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Tokyo to participate in the Quad summit on May 24 at the invitation of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
