Deepening the spheres of engagement, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla yesterday (20 July) said that India and Japan are looking to increase cooperation in third countries, including in the regions like the Russian Far East and the Pacific Island countries, reports Economic Times.
Shringla underscored that India, Russia and Japan had also launched a trilateral for partnership in the Indo-Pacific region including investments and joint projects in the resource-rich Russian Far East.
Addressing the audience at the India-Japan forum organised by leading public policy banner Asanta Aspen India, Shringla said that the growing convergence between the two countries on strategic and economic issues has the potential to shape a multi-polar world that is more peaceful, secure and sustainable.
Shringla also emphasised that the evolving geopolitical situation, with the focus shifting decisively towards the Indo-Pacific region and a deeper understanding of the complementarities between the two countries, has further enhanced the partnership.
Shringla also emphasised that the time may have come for the two sides to consider a migration and mobility partnership agreement to facilitate the mobility of professionals and highly-skilled workers.
Referring to coronavirus pandemic, Shringla said, "While this period may be characterised by flux and a sense of heightened insecurity, the growing convergence of India and Japan on strategic and economic issues has the potential to shape a multi-polar world that is more peaceful, secure and sustainable."
