Japanese PM Arrives In India, N-Cooperation, Defense On Schedule

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo AbeNew Delhi: With a multi-pronged two-sided program including negotiations on wide-ranging economic partnership, teamwork in technical research and India’s nuclear agreement requirements, Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make a high-profile visit to India with about 200 business leaders in a journey intended to improve trade with a flourishing economy and counterbalance China.

According to the Japanese sources that though Japan completely interprets India’s energy requirements, it can’t take the lead in backing up India at the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) assembly. But, the source informant also said that as support for India expands all through the world, Japan would make an effort to participate.

The representative pointed that Japan will have an independent discussion in its Parliament on India’s offer to build up nuclear competence for its energy needs.

“On this, we want to start a debate from a neutral standpoint,” the representative added.

The Japanese would be expecting to emphasize their intensities in the n-energy space — a part where Japan and France are the global leaders.

While addressing a public meeting, Abe stated, “In the three years since Manmohan Singh has been in office, Japan-India relations have grown by leaps and bounds. Investments have quadrupled, while bilateral trade has doubled.”

Emphasizing that Asia’s biggest (Japan) and third largest (India) economies should work jointly for the region’s growth, Abe alleged an early solution of economic partnership agreement talkses, official growth support for India’s infrastructure and fortifying connections between the two countries’ businessmen are on top of the agenda.

Although Manmohan Singh didn’t straightly declare the N-word in Abe’s first public contact this evening, he talked about, in reaction to a doubt from Nippon Steel President Akio Mimora, climate change and energy efficiency.

Apprizing Abe’s plans on anticipating climate change, Manmohan Singh stated that conflicts in levels of growth shouldn’t be commanded in per capita terms.

“Our carbon emissions are one of the lowest in the world,” he said, replying to questions from the visiting delegation, along with Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath.
