New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese PM Fumio Kishida visited the Bal Bodhi Tree at Buddha Jayanti Park in Delhi. The two leaders discussed their ties walking by the park. Not only this, but PM Kishida also tried Indian delicacies of ‘gol gappa’, lassi and aam panna. The meeting was a crucial one and what could be a better way to strengthen the ties than food?
Not only did the Japanese PM try the food, but he also tried to make the lassi by churning the curd. In the video, PM Modi can be seen telling his Japanese counterpart about these delicacies and offering him to try some.
