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.
