◆Modi to discuss second tranche of loan for bullet train project during Japan visit




【New Delhi】Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to discuss a wide range of bilateral issues with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe during his two-day visit to Japan starting October 28. The second tranche of ODA loan for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed train project is expected to be finalised during the discussions.
 The issues include on-going and future infrastructure project funding such as the high-speed train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, partnership in promoting start-ups, cooperation in digital technology, development of Indo-Pacific region and defence tie-ups, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said here on October 25.
