Japanese Prime Minister Sanya Takaichi arrived in New Delhi on a three-day official visit to participate in the 16th India-Japan Annual Summit, aimed at further strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries.
The visit, taking place from July 1 to July 3 at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marks Takaichi’s first official visit to India since assuming office.
During the visit, the two leaders are expected to hold high-level bilateral talks focusing on strengthening cooperation in economic security, resilient supply chains, defence, and maritime security.
Prime Minister Takaichi is also scheduled to attend the Indo-Japan Business Forum, where more than 150 business leaders from both countries will discuss opportunities to expand trade, investment, and economic collaboration.
The summit is expected to further enhance the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership, with discussions also covering regional security issues and the shared vision for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific.
Speaking before departing Tokyo, Prime Minister Takaichi highlighted India’s growing importance in Japan’s foreign and strategic policy, noting that cooperation between the two countries has become increasingly significant amid a rapidly evolving global geopolitical landscape.
The visit is expected to reinforce the longstanding partnership between India and Japan while exploring new avenues for strategic, economic, and security cooperation.
