In the Din of Lok Pal, Japanese PM's Visit ignored - Kolaveri Di for Guest
Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.AN important event that happened yesterday, but which unfortunately did not draw any media attention was the visit of the Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiko Noda to India. The media was so tied up with Lok Pal and Anna that they had no time for the Japanese prime Minister.
The Nodas were received at the Palam Air Force Station by MoS, External Affairs, Preneet Kaur.
India is the largest recipient of Japanese ODA and more than sixty projects are under implementation with Japanese loan assistance.
Since the last India-Japan Summit, the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) has been signed in February this year and has been operationalized on 1st August, 2011 [Please see and 1665]. The agreement which covers a vast gamut of trade, services, investment, intellectual property rights, Customs and other trade related issues signifies the economic alignment of two of the largest economies in Asia and is expected to lead to a marked increase in business and economic ties. Bilateral trade has shown a robust increase of 24 per cent during the period January-September this year over the corresponding period of last year, and it has reached USD 13.2 billion during that period. Currently, more than 800 Japanese companies operate in India. In 2010-11 Japanese FDI totaled USD 3.62 billion.
The Kolaveri Di Song icon Dhanush is one of the invitees for the dinner to be hosted by the Indian Prime Minister for the Japanese Prime Minister. The Kolaveri song is a big hit in Japan and maybe the Indian Prime Minister can use Dhanush to extract some good economic deals from the Japanese PM with Kolaveri .
Dhanush is Tamil Super Star Rajinkant's Son-in Law and some say if Rajnikant had sung the Kolaveri , it would have become the National Anthem!
