Japan promised Modi to give USD 35 billion to India over the next five years for developmental projects as the two sides agreed to enhance their strategic cooperation to a new level.
Modi visited the 'smart city' of Kyoto, besides Tokyo where he held talks with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe and met other leaders.

The two countries signed five pacts covering defence exchanges, cooperation in clean energy, roads and highways, healthcare and women while vowing to take their relationship to newer level.
During his visit, Modi invited Japanese investments while hard-selling India as a conducive destination for business particularly for the manufacturing sector.
