Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Tokyo early on Monday to attend the second in-person Quad leaders’ summit. He was welcomed by the Indian diaspora as well as Japanese citizens at a hotel in Tokyo on Monday. What stood out during his interaction with them was his conversation with the children there.The Indian diaspora raised slogans of "Bharat Ma ka sher" (The lion of India) to welcome PM Modi. He then interacted with a boy who was waiting for him with a drawing of the tricolour. Prime Minister Modi asked him from where he learnt Hindi and praised him for his fluency in the language."Japan's Indian community has made pioneering contributions in different fields. They have also remained connected with their roots in India. I thank the Indian diaspora in Japan for the warm welcome," Prime Minister Modi said on Twitter after his interaction with the community.
