Jaishankar unveils Mahatma Gandhi bust in Tokyo

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar began his Japan visit by unveiling a bust of Mahatma Gandhi in Tokyo’s Edogawa, on Sunday.

“Bapu’s achievements continue to inspire us to this day and his message of peace and non-violence is timeless. His principles are even more relevant today when the



world sees so much conflict, tension and polarization,” the EAM said at the unveiling ceremony.

Edogawa Mayor Takeshi Saito, Japan’s Parliamentary Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Masahiro Komura, Member of Parliament Hideo Onishi and several members of the Indian community also attended the event.
