Tokyo, May 23, 2022: The BJP government has made Indian democracy strong and resilient in the last eight years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his address to the Indian diaspora in Japan. The prime minister is in Tokyo for the Quad summit.

 

“In the last eight years, we have made our democracy strong and resilient. It is serving as one of the strongest pillars of progress,” he said.

“We are working towards building a system that is not only inclusive but caters to a leak-proof governance to fulfill the aspirations of every citizen. We have a people-led government in the true sense in India today. This has become a key reason for strengthening democracy in India,” he said.

PM Modi arrived in Japan on a two-day visit to attend a summit of the Quad leaders - an influential group to discuss the strategic Indo-Pacific region.

"Landed in Tokyo. Will be taking part in various programmes during this visit including the Quad Summit, meeting fellow Quad leaders, interacting with Japanese business leaders and the vibrant Indian diaspora," PM Modi tweeted.

In Tokyo, he interacted with children outside his hotel. A girl showed him a drawing which the prime minister autographed, while a boy waited for him with the tricolour. PM Modi praised the boy for his fluency in Hindi.

“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,” he said on Twitter.

The Quad, or Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, comprises India, the US, Japan and Australia and the summit will also be attended by US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Australian prime minister-elect Anthony Albanese.
