"Leaving Japan after a fruitful visit in which I attended various bilateral and multilateral programmes. Glad to see the Quad emerge as a vibrant forum to further global good. Also had excellent bilateral meetings with all the Quad leaders," PM Modi tweeted ahead of his departure from Tokyo airport after concluding his two-day visit to Japan.

Earlier today, PM Modi participated in the second in-person Quad Leaders' Summit along with leaders of other Japan, the US and Australia.
During the summit, leaders reiterated their shared commitment to a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific and the importance of upholding the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and peaceful resolution of disputes.
PM Modi on Monday invited greater participation by Japanese companies in India and proposed celebrating Japan's contribution to India's development journey in the form of a "Japan Week".
The Prime Minister, who chaired a roundtable with Japanese business leaders, noted that despite the slowdown in global FDI, India has attracted record FDI of USD 84 billion in the previous financial year and termed "it as a vote of confidence in India's economic potential".
Top executives and CEOs of 34 Japanese companies participated in the event. The majority of these companies have investments and operations in India.
The companies represented diverse sectors including automobiles, electronics, semiconductors, steel, technology, trading and banking and finance.
