Here's some of the takeaway from PM Modi's trip to Japan.

-- Japan to invest $35billion (in public and private investment in India over a period of five years  to finance projects including infrastructure and building of smart cities. Some of this fund will be used for the Ganga rejuvenation project.

-- No civil nuclear deal with Japan, but negotiations to continue.

-- Japan to provide financial and technical support for bullet trains.

-- No deal on purchase of US2 amphibian craft.

-- Japan to remove six of Indias space and defence-related entities from Japan's Foreign End User List.

India-Japan ties are expected to get a major boost from the personal camaraderie of Modi and his Japanese counterpart Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Both leaders are emblematic of a new, ambitious and nationalistic Asian landscape. They have decisive mandates to reshape the economic and strategic future of their respective nations and they are already using it with great flourish.
