Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida arrived Monday in India, where he is expected to announce a new plan for a free and open Indo-Pacific and deepen Tokyo’s bilateral relationship with New Delhi ahead of the Group of Seven major industrial nations summit in May.
Kishida said late Sunday that he will present his new action plan for Japan’s free and open Indo-Pacific vision during a speech Monday in New Delhi. The plan is expected to include Japan’s support for human development in maritime security, a provision of coast guard patrol boats and equipment and other infrastructure cooperation.
