NEW DELHI — Japan\u2019s 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\u2019s bilateral relationship with New Delhi ahead of the Group of Seven major industrial nations summit in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kishida said late Sunday that he will present his new action plan for Japan<\/a>\u2019s free and open Indo-Pacific vision during a speech Monday in New Delhi. The plan is expected to include Japan\u2019s support for human development in maritime security, a provision of coast guard patrol boats and equipment and other infrastructure cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India, which is heading this year\u2019s Group of 20 industrial and emerging-market nations, says ties with Japan are key to stability in the region. The two nations, along with the United States and Australia, make up the Indo-Pacific alliance known as the Quad that is countering China\u2019s rising influence in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India is the only Quad member that has not condemned Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/a>. It has refrained from taking sides and abstained from voting against Russia at the United Nations or criticizing President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan, meanwhile, has imposed financial sanctions to isolate Russia, including export controls on high-tech products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an article for the Indian Express newspaper Monday, Kishida said \u201cthe foundation of order in the international community was shaken by Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine\u201d and its impact on food access and fertilizer prices were felt by the international community, including in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn order to respond effectively to the various challenges that the international community is currently facing, cooperation between the G-7 and the G-20 has greater significance. Such pressing challenges include food security, climate and energy, fair and transparent development finance,\u201d Kishida wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his Monday talks with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, Kishida is expected to deepen cooperation between Tokyo and New Delhi, while also addressing food security and development financing, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two leaders will also \u201cdiscuss their priorities for their respective Presidencies of the G-7 and G-20,\u201d the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said in a press statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India and Japan share strong economic ties. Trade between the two was worth $20.57 billion in fiscal year 2021-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese investments in India touched $32 billion between 2000 and 2019. Japan has also been supporting infrastructure development in India, including a high-speed rail project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
