The External Affairs Minister took to Twitter to inform of his meeting with the top Japanese official.

Jaishankar informed that the discussions were centred on the impact of Japanese technology in driving India's growth story.

He added that the much-documented bullet train project also figured in the talks.

"Glad to meet Dr. Masafumi Mori, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister of Japan. Our discussion focused on the impact of Japanese technology on India's growth and progress. The High Speed Rail project can make an even bigger difference than the Metro and Suzuki collaboration," the EAM tweeted.
