Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday to advance cooperation in artificial intelligence, economic security, clean energy and defense. The two countries cited supply chain vulnerabilities, energy security needs and China’s expanding regional influence as reasons for closer coordination.
The leaders agreed to build on a 10-year roadmap adopted when Modi visited Tokyo in August last year. Takaichi said the partnership would draw on each country’s strengths to increase prosperity and resilience. “By drawing on each other’s strengths, Japan and India can become stronger and more prosperous together,” Takaichi said Thursday during the joint news conference.
She added that building a mutually complementary partnership has become increasingly important amid a turbulent international environment.
The meeting occurred as both nations face concerns over global supply disruptions and shifting energy markets. Officials said the talks also touched on defense equipment and technology exchanges. No specific new agreements were announced beyond continued implementation of the existing roadmap.
