Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shigeru Ishiba will travel together on a bullet train during his two-day visit to Japan that begins on Friday (August 29, 2025).
During the visit, the two Prime Ministers will hold the much-delayed 15th annual summit, and are expected to upgrade the 2008 Declaration on Security Cooperation, including defence hardware purchases, launch an “Economic Security” initiative to build resilient supply chains in a number of areas such as critical minerals and Artificial Intelligence, and increase Japan’s investment targets to around $68 billion.
