PM Modi’s Japan Visit Live Updates:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Tokyo for his two-day official visit to Japan from August 29–30 to attend the 15th India-Japan Annual Summit. During the visit, PM Modi will hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, focusing on trade, defence, technology, and cooperation in emerging sectors like semiconductors and artificial intelligence. He is also expected to interact with business leaders, cultural groups, and members of the Indian diaspora.

The visit comes against the backdrop of changing global alignments and a decline in India-US relations over trade and tariff policies under US President Donald Trump. India's outreach to Japan, one of its most reliable strategic allies in Asia, is thus being viewed as an important component of revamping its diplomatic priorities.

Prime Minister Modi will also meet prominent Indian and Japanese business leaders at a special forum to promote more trade, investments, and technology transfer. The focus will also be on deepening Japanese prefecture-state cooperation. "India-Japan ties have gradually increased in ambition and scale over the decade. The leaders will review achievements and discuss how best to inject more resilience into the relationship," Foreign Secretary Misri stated.
