NEW DELHI: Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan has thanked the government and people of India “for doing so much to help us” following the March 11 tsunami and earthquake.

Taking note of the dispatch of 25,000 blankets, 13,000 bottles of mineral water and 10 tonnes of high-calorie biscuits, Mr. Kan, in a letter to the Centre, noted that this help was timely and appreciated by the evacuees because the affected areas were going through very cold weather conditions.

In addition, New Delhi had sent a 46-member National Disaster Management Authority Response Force.Mr. Kan also appreciated the “thoughtful gestures” such as reading out of condolence messages in both Houses of Parliament and the personal messages by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and assured that these gestures “will never be forgotten by the people of Japan.”

A month after the tsunami-earthquake, over 14,000 remain unaccounted for and about 1,50,000 are forced to take shelter as evacuees.

India should engage intensively with Japan. It will also help us understand how to react to such massive natural disasters and increase our experience.

We need to proactively ally with Japan and such like minded , peace loving countries. It is in both our interests . Gone are the days when we could just remain uninvolved in world events.

Yeah.that the irony.

There were hundreds of mass prayers organized by people all over the India including Muslims but we have not taken it to the world so that we get goodwill or people know what we are doing for them.

Govt. should have organized mass prayers for the Japanese people in famous Buddhist sites and invite Japanese ambassador, telecast it to Japanese media.
