Ahmedabad:
PM Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart arrived in Gujarat's Ahmedabad today.The visit is seen as an effort to cement ties between India and Japan. After ending their first-of-its-kind roadshow from the city's airport to the iconic monument Mahatma Gandhi's Sabarmati Ashram, the prime ministers visited the historic Sidi Saiyyed Mosque which was built in 1573 under the regime of the last Sultanate of Gujarat. Mr Abe is on a two-day visit to India and will lay the foundation stone for India's first bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad tomorrow. For his grand welcome, the twin cities of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar are decked up with streets shimmering in fluorescent lights, and hoardings and banners dotting them.
