Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes the visit this weekend by Shinzo Abe, starting Friday, Dec. 11, 2015, will be a major step in transforming India into an economic powerhouse with Japan's help in building bullet trains, "smart cities" and accessing nuclear technology. India and Japan are set to sign a $15 billion agreement for a high-speed train linking the Indian financial hub of Mumbai with Ahmadabad, the commercial capital of Modi's home state, Gujarat. The train would cut travel time on the 505 kilometer (315 mile) route from eight hours to two. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, File)
