New Delhi , Thu, 28 Nov 2013 ANI

New Delhi, Nov.28 (ANI): The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday gave details of the six-day state visit of the Japanese Emperor Akihito and his wife Empress Michiko beginning November 30.

"It is the first time that the Emperor and Empress of Japan are coming to India," MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin told media here today.

Chief of Protocol to the Government of India Ruchira Kamboj said that the Japanese Emperor and Empress would be visiting New Delhi and Chennai. During their six-day visit, they would be meeting President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Vice President Hamid Ansari, among other ministers.

The Japanese Emperor and Empress would be visiting India International Centre, which is very significant because they had laid the foundation stone 60 years ago.

Kamboj said that the royal couple would hold meeting with the Governor of Tamil Nadu, and will also meet the representatives of Japanese expatriates in Chennai.

Director of East Asia Shambhu Kumaran said: "The nature of the visit is that it is a highly symbolic visit. The discussions would essentially focus on the extraordinary maturity of the relationship over the past several decades. We have a very strong popular connectivity in terms of spirituality, culture, people to people exchanges. This visit to a certain degree is a manifestation of that aspect of that relationship."
