This is Modi's third visit to Japan for the summit and will be his 12th meeting with Abe since 2014.
Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region and in the defence and security sector, and leveraging Japanese capabilities for India's development initiatives will be the highlights of the agenda in the summit which will be held on Monday.
Close to 11 PM local time but the wait was worth every moment.
