India and Japan will celebrate 70 years of diplomatic relations and to mark this historic occasion, the two countries have decided to have special logos.

The Indian logo depicts a peacock and a green pheasant, which are national birds of India and Japan respectively. The pheasant forms the numeral 7 with its tail and the Peacock forms the numeral 0. The logo symbolises the bond of friendship between the two countries.

To mark the 70th anniversary, a number of events are planned to be held in India and Japan throughout the year. These include cultural activities, exhibitions and seminars, covering diverse areas of India-Japan bilateral relations.

These events will mark the occasion in a manner that truly reflects its significance and the commitment of all stakeholders to realise the full potential of the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership, said the Ministry of External Affairs.

This was publicised by the MEA and also by the Embassy of India in Tokyo. A total of 1,131 entries were received. A Screening Committee assessed these entries based on contest parameters and chose the first prize winning entry.
