Imperial couple to visit India

This is good news. We need to forge closer ties with our "friends" in Asia.

They should go to China

first rice from fukushima, and now indian food? i hope ole aki's stomach can put up with it all.

Not only government level but also private level two countries are at in good relations. Have a nice trip.

A few weeks ago the media were up and arms over "political use of the emperor," when that Diet member handed him a letter. Do you mean to tell us that an Imperial visit to China's biggest potential military and economic rival in Asia (India) --- timed to just when the situation is heating up over the Senkakus --- isn't political use of the emperor?

Good on both sides. Arigatoo gozaimas, Imperial couple for recognizing that it is time you extended the flower of peacefulness. It's time to reach out and offer that flower - you are our best hope for extending the peace and goodwill your trip embodies.

According to the Embassy of Japan in India webpage, this visit was announced on July 9 this year to commemorate the 60th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations.

welcome to India........

They will enjoy India curry food that is best in the world.
