New Delhi, Dec. 27: Arjun Munda waited patiently for the visiting premier at the door of Hotel Taj Palace?s Durbar Hall this evening, insisting on ?friendship first? even as other dignitaries posed for the camera at the launch of the India-Japan Global Partnership Summit scheduled for 2013.
Despite arriving late, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda spent a few minutes in private with Munda before entering the hall. Though sources claimed it would attract financial assistance for building roads and bridges in the state, the chief minister stressed on friendship.
?Yes, we talked about infrastructure development and about developing an agri corridor. These are our plans. But I didn?t request anything from him (Noda) today. Pehle toh friendship karte hain. Phir aage dekha jaayega,? Munda said.
The outcome of the meeting was summed up in a terse reply from a senior state official: ?Nothing great.?
Addressing business tycoons, politicians, bureaucrats and diplomats, Munda said, ?As a new state, we have abundant economic and social resources which we would like to work on with Japan. I ensure our government?s full support for all your endeavours...I look forward to a more active engagement with Japan.?
