Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will undertake an
official visit to New Delhi from July 1 to 3 to participate in the 16th
India-Japan Annual Summit, marking her first official trip to India since
assuming office.
The visit, scheduled at the invitation of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, is expected to further deepen the longstanding strategic
partnership between the two countries and provide fresh momentum to cooperation
across key sectors.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the
summit will offer both leaders an opportunity to review the entire spectrum of
bilateral cooperation and explore new avenues to strengthen ties. The
discussions will also include an exchange of views on regional and global issues
of mutual interest.
The MEA said that Takaichi's visit follows Prime Minister Modi's visit to Tokyo in August 2025 for the 15th India-Japan Annual Summit and underscores the shared commitment of both nations to further enhance the India–Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership.
The annual summit is expected to reinforce collaboration in areas such as economic cooperation, trade and investment, technology, infrastructure, security, and people-to-people exchanges, while reaffirming the shared vision of India and Japan for a free, open, and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
