PM Modi

In an opinion piece in the Japanese newspaper--Yomiuri Shimbun, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that closer India-Japan cooperation is vital in the post-COVID world. He also said that the two nations constitute key pillars of a stable and secure Indo-Pacific region.

Modi, who arrived in Japan for the four-member Quad summit tweeted: "Closer India-Japan cooperation is vital in the post-COVID world. Our nations are firmly committed to democratic values. Together, we are key pillars of a stable and secure Indo-Pacific region. I am equally glad that we are working closely in various multilateral forums as well."

The Quad is a strategic security dialogue between India, Australia, Japan, and the US and aims at balancing China in the Indo-Pacific.

Besides the Quad summit with US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and the new Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Modi's two-day visit also includes interactions with top Japanese business leaders.  

Among the points on the agenda are strengthening bilateral relations between the four nations, advocating for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP), peace in the Taiwan Strait where China has made numerous aggressive moves and the launch of a new trade agreement called the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) by Biden.
