New Delhi, 28/8: : Even as the tension between Tokyo and Beijing escalated over China’s proposed “Victory Day” parade on September 3 to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II, Prime Minister Narendra Modi left New Delhi on Thursday for a visit to both East Asian nations.
The prime minister, however, will not attend the ‘Victory Day’ parade in Beijing on September 3 – an event which Tokyo accused China of planning with overtones against Japan.
