Kuala Lumpur: In a huge insult to the country, an inverted national flag was hoisted in ASEAN summit by the organisers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a meeting scheduled with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe. As per tradition, flags of both the nations were hoisted.
Japanese PM had reached before PM Modi. As soon as he saw the flag, he noticed something amiss. For many minutes, he tried to find out what was wrong in the flag.
However, when PM Modi reached the venue, he failed to notice the inverted flag as he went ahead and shook hands with the Japanese PM. Later on, officials noticed the blooper and notified the organisers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Japanese counterpart who said Indo-Japan ties have the greatest potential of any bilateral relationship in the world.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of 13th ASEAN-India Summit here in the Malaysian capital.
“Working through lunch with an old friend. PM @AbeShinzo hosts PM @narendramodi for the second bilateral,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted.
Earlier Modi met his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang. “The India-Japan relationship has the greatest potential of any bilateral relationship in the world,” Abe was quoted by Swarup as saying. The meeting comes ahead of Abe’s visit to India on December 11 to hold annual summit talks with Modi and take further the already close relations between the two major Asian economies.
In the 9th annual Indo-Japan summit talks, Modi and Abe are likely to review implementation of various decisions taken in course of last one year to boost ties, particularly in the trade and investment sector. Modi had visited Japan from August 30 to September 3 last year during which that country had announced doubling of its private and public investment in India to about USD 34 billion over a period of five years.

Not with the Ashoka Chakra (wheel of Dharma) that you see in the centre of the flag.
