One of the finest and visionary leader and true friend of India

From deepening relations with india after pokhran tests to Funding India's bullet train. And by Creating QUAD to bringing a strategic balence in Indo Pacific region

When the world bank and IMF refused to fund infrastructure projects in Arunachal fearing China's actions, he is the only world leader gave 2 billion dollers to Arunachal.

He has done a lot to india...

Om shanti🙏
