During PM Modi's visit, India and Japan firmed up 13 key agreements and declarations and announced the launch of various transformative initiatives.

India and Japan announced new steps to deepen their special strategic and global partnership after summit talks between PM Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shigeru Ishiba. Japan committed to investing 10 trillion yen (about ₹60,000 crore) in India over the next decade, as the two countries signed a series of major agreements — including a defence cooperation framework and a 10-year roadmap to strengthen economic ties.

The agreements also covered an economic security framework aimed at enhancing supply chain resilience in critical sectors such as semiconductors, clean energy, telecom, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and emerging technologies.

PM Modi will travel to Tianjin for a two-day visit to China to attend the SSCO summit on August 31 and September 1.

The meeting of the 10-member bloc is seen as particularly significant for India-China relations, coming at a time of strain in India-US ties following Trump’s decision to impose 50 percent tariffs on Indian exports.

This will mark Modi’s first visit to China in seven years.
