Modi's ends Japan visit, Sushma receives him at airport

The successful visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Japan, his first bilateral trip outside the subcontinent, ended today with the Indian leader thanking the country for displaying its affection and warmth.
Elated over the success of the visit, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj went to the airport here to receive Modi and congratulate him for the same.
"I thank the people of Japan for the affection, warmth & wonderful hospitality during my visit. Thank you Japan," the Prime Minister tweeted after his return. The same message was tweeted in Japanese language as well.
As he landed, Swaraj was there to receive him with a bouquet of flowers at the staircase of the special aircraft. She was seen telling something to Modi and the two shared a laugh.

"EAM @SushmaSwaraj ji told me that the visit has generated lot of positivity & optimism in India about our ties with Japan. Glad to know," Modi said in another tweet.
Sources said Swaraj decided to go to the airport to meet Modi especially to convey her happiness over the "success" of the visit.
Normally, for the past several years, no minister received the Prime Minister at the airport when he returns from a foreign tour.
During his visit, Modi struck the chord with Japanese leadership and business community while inviting them to invest in India.
