NEW DELHI: With an aim to bring the Indian diaspora together and strengthen their connection with the people at home, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday invoked ‘Bharat Chalo, Bharat Se Judo’ as he addressed members of the 40,000 strong Indian diaspora in Japan.

“Whenever I come to Japan, I get extreme love from the people here. Some of you have been staying in Japan for years and have adapted to the culture of this country. Still, the dedication toward Indian culture and language is ever-growing,” Modi said at the event.

Addressing the Indian community, PM Modi underscored several socio-economic developments and reform initiatives taken place in India in recent years, especially in the areas of infrastructure, governance, green growth, and the digital revolution.

PM Modi appreciated the Indian community members for their skills, talent and entrepreneurship and their connection with India.

Invoking Swami Vivekananda and Rabindra Nath Tagore, PM Modi underscored that there are deep cultural ties between India and Japan.

PM Modi also met with Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Awardees in Japan.

Prior to addressing the Indian community, Prime Minister Modi met with Japanese Indologists, sportspersons and cultural artists who are contributing to promoting cultural and people-to-people exchanges between India and Japan.
