Modi congratulates Japanese PM on poll win
New Delhi, (IANS) Prime Minster Narendra Modi Monday congratulated his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe on his electoral victory.
"Modi Tweeted: Congratulations to Shinzo Abe on his victory in the elections. Japan will scale newer heights of progress under his leadership," Modi said in a statement."I look forward to continuing to work closely with Shinzo Abe to strengthen the relations between India and Japan," he added.
Abe scored a big win in the snap polls with his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its partner Komeito Party bagging two-thirds of the seats in the 475-member Lower House of Parliament.
"I look forward to continuing to work closely with @AbeShinzo to strengthen the relations between India & Japan," he said in another tweet. Modi and Abe share a close personal relationship which was reflected when the Indian leader travelled to Japan in August.
