In his message, Prime Minister Modi has said that he looks forward to having a stronger India-Japan tie.
Calling Abe a ''dear friend'', Prime Minister Modi said, "Heartiest greetings to my dear friend @AbeShinzo on his big election win. Look forward to further strengthen India-Japan relations with him."
According to Japanese media, Abe is expected to win two-thirds majority in the recent polls and retain his position in the parliament.
