Tokyo, June 26 (Jiji Press)–Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will visit India for three days from Wednesday for a summit with her Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, in New Delhi on Thursday, according to a government plan approved Friday. The summit was initially scheduled to take place in Guwahati, a major city in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. Takaichi’s trip to India, her first since taking office in October last year, will be part of the so-called shuttle diplomacy of reciprocal visits by the two countries’ leaders. She aims to strengthen cooperation between Japan and India in light of the reluctance of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to cooperate internationally and China’s growing assertiveness. The Japanese and Indian governments had planned to hold the summit on Wednesday, but it was postponed until the following day. The change of venue is said to have been requested by the Indian side.
