The Gandhian ideals of peace and harmony reverberate globally and give strength to millions,” he wrote on his Twitter account. Modi is currently in Hiroshima to attend the G7 summit, in what is the first visit by an Indian PM to the Japanese city since India conducted nuclear tests in Pokhran in 1974.
