Prime Minister Modi's connection with Japan dates back to 2007, when he made his first official visit to Japan as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Modi, accompanied by a 40-member delegation, visited the cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and Kobe during a six-day trip.
The explosion that occurred on Saturday in Wakayama at a rally of the Japanese prime minister, Fumio Kishida, did not result in any injuries. The leader was immediately evacuated and safely transported to an unknown location by the Japanese officials.
