Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's first official visit to India ran from 1 to 3 July. She and Prime Minister Narendra Modi organised the partnership around three priorities: defence and security, economic ties, and people-to-people exchange.
A new economic-security declaration covers semiconductors, critical minerals and pharmaceuticals, and the two sides agreed to speed up a review of a trade agreement now 15 years old.
The two countries adopted a joint statement on artificial intelligence, signed research tie-ups on large language models, and settled the technical terms of a co-developed naval antenna.
