Which areas will be discussed?
This visit is being considered as an important step between India and Japan in the coming times which will further strengthen the special strategic and global partnership. During these three-day visit, both the countries will deepen economic security cooperation and there will also be discussions on supplies, new technology, defense system, maritime security and investment.
Addressing a joint press conference after the 16th India-Japan Annual Summit, Takaichi said the two countries should use their respective strengths to become stronger and more prosperous together, especially at a time when uncertainty is increasing in the world. He said the two leaders were on the same page on many strategic issues and agreed to prioritize three key areas of cooperation, including deepening strategic ties. Japan’s updated ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ (FOIP) vision is largely in line with Prime Minister Modi’s ‘MAHASAGAR’ initiative, he said Takaichi said the two countries will strengthen maritime security cooperation and work together to promote peace, stability and rules-based order in the entire Indo-Pacific region.
