Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to visit India for three days from March 19 to hold talks with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to reaffirm cooperation ahead of the Group of Seven summit, government sources said.
At the G7 summit, which is to be held in Hiroshima in May, imposing new sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, as well as offering support for Ukraine, are expected to be on the agenda.
To increase international pressure on Russia, it will be important to cooperate with the Group of 20 countries.
