New Delhi, Dec 12 (IBNS): Japanese PM Shinzo Abe called on the President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan here on Saturday.

Welcoming Shinzo Abe, the President said India attaches high value to its partnership with Japan and considers Japan a key strategic partner. Bilateral relations between India and Japan have been strengthened through efforts of successive Governments in both countries.

Japan is a major partner in infrastructure development of India.

The projects that have been undertaken through Japanese Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) have directly impacted in a positive way the lives of ordinary Indians. India would like to see an expansion of ODA projects and more Japanese business activities as well as an enhancement in the flow of FDI into India.

He said India’s current growth rate provides opportunities and he was confident that the Japanese private sector will seize these opportunities.
