During his recent visit to Japan, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held the 15th India-Japan Annual Summit with PM Shigeru Ishiba. The talks yielded over ¥10 trillion (approx. $68 billion) in planned Japanese investments in India and agreements spanning trade, defense, technology, and economic security—especially in semiconductors, AI, and critical minerals. This reinforces India’s emergence as a global manufacturing and innovation hub and strengthens the Indo-Japanese strategic partnership amid broader Asian realignments.
