External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar began his Japan visit by unveiling a bust of Mahatma Gandhi in Tokyo’s Edogawa, on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Bapu’s achievements continue to inspire us to this day and his message of peace and non-violence is timeless. His principles are even more relevant today when the world sees so much conflict, tension and polarization,” the EAM said at the unveiling ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edogawa Mayor Takeshi Saito, Japan’s Parliamentary Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Masahiro Komura, Member of Parliament Hideo Onishi and several members of the Indian community also attended the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Happy to learn from the Mayor that the park, close to the heart of Indian community in Tokyo, would also be soon named as the Gandhi Park,” said Jaishankar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I was told this is a place, somebody called it Little India, I hope it becomes bigger, but this is a place where the Indian community in Tokyo lives and gathers in large numbers. And I cannot think of a more appropriate occasion and a better way of strengthening bonds between India and Japan than by this event,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EAM is in Tokyo to attend the eighth meeting of the Quad foreign ministers on Monday where the grouping – comprising of India, Japan, Australia and the United States – will review and build on continuing initiatives and announce deliverable outcomes.
