About the Japanese Prime Minister’s visit, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, “India and Japan summit will be held on March 19.

“On invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida will be undertaking an official visit to New Delhi from March 19 to March 20 for the 14th Indian Japan annual summit.”

It will be the first meeting of the two leaders. The previous summit took place in Tokyo in October 2018.

Indian and Japan have multifaceted cooperation within the ambit of the special strategic and global partnership.

“The summit will provide an opportunity for both sides to review and strengthen the bilateral cooperation in diverse areas as well as share views on regional and global issues of mutual interest, so as to advance the partnership for peace stability and prosperity in the Indo pacific and beyond,” Bagchi said.
