Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Indian counterpart,
Narendra Modi, visited Kyoto's Toji temple on Sunday, ahead of a summit
to discuss expansion of bilateral cooperation in economic and defence
issues.
Japan and India both have much to gain from the five-day visit by Modi and more than a dozen Indian steel, energy and IT tycoons, which began on Saturday in the ancient capital of Kyoto.
The two leaders admired one of many Kyoto's world heritage sites, the Toji temple, known for its famous five-storey pagoda.
The two countries have complementary economies, given Japan's wealth and technological prowess and India's natural resources and drive to modernise its economy.
India has sought to cultivate closer ties with Japan and other Asian countries, while upgrading its military capabilities, partly in response to a perceived challenge from China and also from neighbouring Pakistan.
Among other priorities, Japan and India are working toward a deal on nuclear energy cooperation, as Tokyo tries to boost exports of atomic technology and other infrastructure to help revive the economy.
