Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads to Japan on August 30 for a four-day visit. The visit is expected to be high on deliverables with efforts being made to finalise the draft for the civil nuclear agreement and the sale of 15 ShinMaywa US-2i amphibious aircraft to India. Narendra Modi is also scheduled to address a gathering of over twelve hundred business leaders which is likely to encourage them to invest in India’s infrastructure projects.
