Indian Prime Minister Modi will visit Japan starting on the 29th to inspect the new high-speed train test model.

According to Kyodo News, the Japanese government announced that Indian Prime Minister Modi will begin a two-day visit to Japan on the 29th. On the 29th, he will hold talks and have dinner with Prime Minister Shizo Abe. They are scheduled to visit Miyagi Prefecture on the 30th. This will be Modi's second visit to Japan since he was invited to the G7 summit in May 2023. During the Japan-India summit talks, it is expected that a target of private investment of 10 trillion yen in India over the next 10 years will be set and included in the outcome document. Both sides are also coordinating changes to the "Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation" established in 2008. Regarding the high-speed railway being constructed in western India, the two leaders may reach a consensus on the use of the "E10 Series" new train developed by the East Japan Railway Company. In Miyagi Prefecture, they plan to inspect the experimental Shinkansen train and a major Japanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer.
