To ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific, the Japanese PM said he would strengthen bilateral ties with India. India is driving the region and the world's prosperity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was an outstanding leader of the great country, added Abe.
"We share a big win-win potential in all areas and Japan remains committed to supporting India's economic growth and Prime Minister Modi's Make in India initiative through high-speed rail, subways and other infrastructure, mobilising Japan's world-leading technologies," he said.
