“…The focus would be on deepening our Special Strategic and Global Partnership and boosting economic and cultural linkages. I will also be travelling to Sendai to visit a semiconductor factory, thus highlighting the futuristic dimension of our cooperation in areas like emerging technologies, AI and semiconductors,” Modi wrote in a post on X.
Modi departed from New Delhi for a two-day official visit to Japan, scheduled from August 29 to 30, marking his first standalone visit to the island nation in nearly seven years. The visit comes at the invitation of Ishiba.
Ahead of his departure, he issued a statement highlighting the importance of the trip and said India and Japan will focus on the “next phase” of their Special Strategic and Global Partnership, which has seen steady progress in the last 11 months.
During the summit, both Prime Ministers will conduct an in-depth review of their ties, take stock of progress over the last few years across multiple domains, and, as usual, exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest.
The summit will provide an opportunity to launch new initiatives aimed at building greater resilience in the India-Japan ties and addressing emerging global challenges. The Prime Minister will also interact with several other political leaders from Japan and take part in a business leaders’ forum with captains of the Japanese and Indian industry.
He will then travel to China from August 31 to September 1 to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin.
