PM Kishida, who is likely to visit India for three days from March 19, has been eager to confirm with Modi that Japan and India, as this year’s G-7 and G-20 presidents, will work together more closely to tackle issues rising from Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Notably, Japan has been boosting economic sanctions on Russia in tandem with the G-7 members. However, India shied away from implementing punitive measures owning to its dependence on Moscow for military and energy supplies.
