Narendra Modi, Indias prime minister, left, waves as Shinzo Abe, Japans prime minister, looks on during a visit to a plant of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.s Rolling Stock Co. in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016. Modi meets Abe in Japan, almost a year after the Indian leader picked Japan as a partner for the nations first line -- a 980-billion-rupee (15 billion) rail linking Mumbai and Ahmedabad, roughly the distance from Paris to London. Abe hopes that will make Japan the front-runner if India implements five other planned lines. Photographer: Buddhika Weerasinghe/Bloomberg
