The funeral will take place on Tuesday and is expected to be attended by representatives from around hundred countries.

Kwatra said Modi will have a bilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and also meet Abe’s wife.

Abe was shot dead while making a campaign speech three months back.
