India, Japan can bond like classical dancers, musicians: Abe

New Delhi, Aug 22 (UNI) Expressing his admiration for Indian dance forms, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today said India and Japan ''most certainly'' can become inalienable partners as in the case of dancers and muscians in 'Bharatanatyam' and 'Kathak' and other such arts.

In his address to a joint sitting of Parliament, Mr Abe said Japanese people invariably marvelled at Indian dance forms where ''the contrasts of the static and the dynamic are lively and brilliant.

''The breathing of the dancers and the musicians match perfectly at the culmination of of incredibly delicate rhythms, as if scripted that way. Watching it, one can hardly help but think that it is a result of very complex computations.

''We, India and Japan, want to become partners who exhibit just this type of perfect match with each other. No, let me state here that we most certainly can become just such partners.'' UNI
