Nagma Malik, India’s ambassador to Japan, met with Senate President Sekiguchi Masakazu on Thursday at the National Diet building to discuss ways to boost bilateral relations.
The Ambassador also took a tour of the National Diet building.
“Today, we were also fortunate to have the opportunity to tour the Japan National Diet Building,” the Indian Embassy in Japan wrote on X.
“The intricate construction and delicate decorations were truly impressive,” it added.
Both houses of the Japanese legislature, known as ‘the Diet’, meet in the building.
Ambassador Malik paid a courtesy call on Sekiguchi Masakazu at the National Diet and exchanged views on further developing bilateral relations between the two countries.
“Parliamentary cooperation and exchanges that support the democracies of India and Japan are an important pillar of the India-Japan Special Strategic Global Partnership,” the embassy noted.
Earlier this month, the Ambassador met with Nagasaki City Mayor Shirosuke Suzuki to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral exchange and cooperation between India and Nagasaki.
On June 8, the Ambassador also met with Hiyoshi Takehiro, Japan’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs.
They reviewed the outcomes of recent high-level exchanges and senior-level talks, as well as discussed ways to strengthen bilateral relations.
Last month, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi visited India to attend the Japan-US-Australia-India Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and made a courtesy call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
According to a statement released by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both sides have agreed to collaborate to achieve concrete results in areas such as economic growth through investment, innovation, and knowledge exchange, as well as economic security cooperation.
