Japan PM Sanae Takaichi's July India Visit Shifted from Guwahati to Delhi
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is scheduled to visit India from July 1 to 3 for her first official trip since taking office. Initially, Guwahati was considered as a venue for the India-Japan annual summit, reflecting Japan's interest in India's Northeast under the Act East policy. However, due to Takaichi's tight schedule and logistical challenges, the summit is now expected to be held exclusively in New Delhi. The visit will focus on strengthening bilateral ties in areas such as trade, defence, technology, and regional cooperation, with a delegation of over 50 Japanese business leaders accompanying her.
