External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met with Akie Abe, the wife of the late Japanese Prime Minister and handed over a personal letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, conveying his condolences on the recent passing away of Yoko Abe, mother of the late PM.
The statement came after EAM Jaishankar and his Japanese counterpart, Yoko Kamikawa, co-chaired the 16th India-Japan Foreign Ministers Strategic Dialogue in Tokyo.
The remarks of Jaishankar came after the 16th India-Japan Foreign Ministers Strategic Dialogue. It covered diverse aspects of bilateral relations and set the stage for discussions on major regional and global issues in the remaining sessions.
The year 2023, according to Jaishankar, has been a "landmark" in India-Japan bilateral relations, witnessing "government-to-government, business-to-business, and people-to-people exchanges thrive across various sectors".
To realise this vision, Yokohama City organised the Y-Ship global event in December last year. It aimed to establish an innovative and smart city with collaborations with start-ups from across the world and companies from Asia-Africa's emerging countries.
