Tokyo/IBNS: President Ram Nath Kovind attended the enthronement ceremony of the Emperor Naruhito of Japan in the Imperial Palace.

Addressing the Indian community in Tokyo, the President said India offers immense opportunities for its diaspora to participate in India’s progress and prosperity.

"India seeks your support and commitment to create an India of our vision and dream, an India that promises to light millions of homes with progress and prosperity; an India that cares for one and for all," he said.

The President said that India is on a transformational path. 

Underscoring the growth in various sectors, Kovind said: "Our economy is growing at a fast rate. We are creating new infrastructure apace.  We are making efforts to lead the world on digital economy, on new technologies, on climate change action and on fashioning the contours of the knowledge society,"

The President said that India's cultural relations with Japan were deep and historic.

"We share spiritual and religious connections, from Buddhism to Hinduism and more," he said adding, "our strategic, political, security and economic collaboration has assumed a new high."

Pointing out Japan's role in India's development, he said, "Japan is a lead partner for us in transforming our economy.

"Their participation in the High-Speed Rail project from Mumbai to Ahmedabad is a symbol of our deep mutual trust and friendship.

"To deepen our technology collaboration, we have established the India-Japan Digital Partnership."

President Ram Nath Kovind reached Tokyo, the capital of Japan, on Monday in the final leg of his visit to two nations - the Philippines and Japan.

After his arrival, the President visited the Tsukiji Hongwanji Buddhist Temple and planted a sapling from Bodh Gaya.
