Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Sanae Takaichi on Thursday unveiled an ambitious multi-billion-dollar roadmap to deepen the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership, with more than $10 billion in fresh Japanese investments, agreements spanning artificial intelligence, defence, energy and next-generation mobility, and a renewed target of attracting ¥10 trillion in Japanese investment over the next decade.
The announcements came after the two leaders held talks at the 16th India-Japan Annual Summit in New Delhi, where they also agreed to strengthen cooperation in semiconductors, critical minerals, quantum technologies and resilient supply chains. The summit marked Takaichi's first visit to India since taking office and the first by a woman serving as Japan's Prime Minister.
