Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Japan earlier this week to meet with some of the top delegates and industrialists of the country to further strengthen the ties between India and Japan.
As usual, Modi was welcomed with a warm reception from his well-wishers, greeted with by both Indian Nationales and those from Japan.
One such viral interaction saw the prime minister greeted by a group of Japanese students, who welcomed him with words in Hindi and asked for his autograph.
Mr. Modi was seen overzealous at the moment, giving a pat on the back of the children, and lovingly interacting with them while also giving them an autograph.
