- Security and defence dialogue: One of the most effective frameworks between Japan and India includes the “2+2” meeting, apart from the annual Defence Ministerial Dialogue and Coast Guard-to-Coast Guard dialogue.
WAY FORWARD
In defence and Security partnership, India-Japan has evolved over the years. Its significance is growing because of the common outlook on issues of peace, security and stability in the Indo-Pacific Region.
Two countries come together because of common or shared interests, and so do India and Japan especially when foreign policy is concerned. To strengthen their position in the global community Japan and India cultivate and maintain their relationships with other countries too.
Close cooperation is advantageous for both countries to tackle hostile neighbours like China as well. India and Japan could deepen their relationship more to utilise each other's resources for their profit. One such example is the presence of technology in japan and the presence of a labour force in India could complement each other to grow in this competitive world.
