"Excited to meet PM Shinzo Abe": PM tweets in Japanese

New Delhi, Aug 28 (IBNS) Ahead of his Japan visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has tweeted in Japanese for the first time, to talk to the people of Japan directly in Japanese.

A team of Japanese volunteers helped with the translation.

Following is the English translation of the tweets:

"On 30th August I will begin my visit to Japan. I am keenly looking forward to the visit, which will boost relations between our two nations.

Japan visit will be my 1st bilateral visit outside the subcontinent. I was to visit in early July but could not due to Parliament session.

I see the Japan visit as an opportunity to take our ties with Japan to a new level and increase cooperation in various fields.

I will visit Tokyo & Kyoto and will interact with all sections of Japanese society from students, political leaders to captains of industry.

Have very warm memories of visiting Japan as a CM. The hospitality & the immense scope for cooperation left a deep impression in my mind.

The scale of innovation & level of precision among the people of Japan is admirable. Both our nations can learn a lot from each other.

Am particularly excited to meet PM Abe. I deeply respect his leadership & enjoy a warm relationship with him from previous meetings.

Japan's friendship with India is time tested. We are two vibrant democracies committed to advancing peace and prosperity in the world."
