PM Narendra Modi along with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe on Saturday travelled in Japan's famed high-speed Shinkansen bullet train, which is being introduced in India on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad stretch. Modi and Abe travelled in the train, whose speed ranges from 240 kms per hour to 320 kms per hour, from Tokyo to Kobe, a city on Osaka Bay in Japan.

Six years after they started negotiations, India and Japan finally signed a landmark nuclear agreement, opening the way for India to be able to commission nuclear reactors by global entities.

The bipartite agreement is intended to open the Indian market to overseas reactor suppliers. The deal would allow Japan to export nuclear technology to India, making it the first non-NPT (Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) signatory to have such a deal with Tokyo.
