At the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will pay an official visit to New Delhi from July 1 to July 3. During the visit, she and Prime Minister Modi will jointly chair the 16th India-Japan Annual Summit.
This will be Prime Minister Takaichi's first official visit to India and is being seen as an important step in further strengthening ties between the two countries. The meeting comes at a significant time, amid indications of possible changes in the U.S. administration's policy toward the Indo-Pacific region.
According to India's Ministry of External Affairs, the summit will provide an opportunity for both nations to review and enhance their bilateral cooperation across various sectors, including strategic, economic, and security partnerships.
Prime Minister Takaichi will also be accompanied by a high-level Japanese business delegation, a move expected to boost trade, investment, and economic cooperation between India and Japan.
