According to Japanese media reports, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in a false 'sibling' relationship: In public appearances, Abe referred to himself as Modi's 'beautiful sister'; however, during his visit to India, Abe did not drink a single drop of Indian water.
According to a report by the Japanese Abema Times website on July 2, accompanying journalists revealed the behind-the-scenes details of Naoki Takashii's visit to India.
According to reports, the Japanese government had imposed strict hygiene and epidemic prevention regulations for Ms. Takashi's trip, requiring her to “absolutely not use local tap water, not even for rinsing teeth; only bottled mineral water was allowed.” It is reported that Ms. Takashi’s private plane was equipped with a large quantity of bottled mineral water.
From July 1st to 3rd, Koike Masayoshi visited India. On the 2nd, Modi and Koike held talks on topics including trade and investment, economic security, energy, emerging technologies, defense, and cultural exchanges.
According to Indian and Japanese media reports, at a press conference, Modi referred to Aso as 'my sister'.
Subsequently, Gao Shi said when discussing a conversation between the two of them, "Just now you called me your beautiful sister (Uchīme). We have agreed in our conversation to continue being siblings."
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Modi's use of the term 'highness' for Koga was related to their previous conversation. During the meeting, Koga mentioned that she has always regarded former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as a 'brother', because she is younger than him. She also added that she now regards Modi as her brother as well.
